Yes, it is true. People do keep a goose or geese in their homes as pets. Why not, people have kept Parrots through history in their homes. Most people however diaper their housegoose rather then cage them. Housegeese do need some special care, special equipment and special love if you do decide to keep a goose in your home.

Did you know that a goose can learn to come when you call it's name, can learn to do tricks and tasks? Did you know that geese can and usually do make great guard animals? Many people who are not afraid of dogs ARE afraid of geese.

Who was the first person to keep a goose in the home? Who knows. Solomon said waaaay back in Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV) "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Solomon kept many animals, domestic and exotic. I would not be surprised at all to know that he had the lovely, smart and fun birds we know as geese.
