Throughout history, territorial and often aggressive domestic geese have been deployed to keep watch over everything from Scotch whisky to military installations
continents except Antarctica. The mostly ground-nesting birds have excellent eyesight, which evolved to spot predators approaching from afar. They can also use and control each eye separately, giving them a broader perspective.
Wild geese, such as barnacle geese in northern Europe and Russia, usually make use of “security geese” on the edge of flocks to sound the alarm against threats. The geese are so proficient at sensing danger that ducks and cranes will sometimes feed among geese for security, says Glazov. “Could we train a goose? Probably, but that would be very hard,” he says. Contreras says dogs are also generally more intimidating: “I’m less inclined to try to do anything mischievous when I see a canine and its handler than a guy with a goose.”
