A gaggle of twenty goslings (five-day old on these pictures) live on my island. They arrived by ferry a couple of days ago, and their Daddy has created a lovely - and stimulating, note the drawings and signs on their pen! - environment where they will grow and gain weight... They will remain indoors for a while, to protect them from the wily racoons. When they are ready for the great outdoors, they will patrol the pastures...
They will have a beautiful summer in the country, ruling the pastures and following their Daddy around. They have imprinted on him...

When I say they will be patrolling, I mean it. Geese are famously territorial, as evidenced by quite a few Youtube videos, such as this one:
