We are very lucky with Crumb as she is an excellent guard goose and will not let anyone except me and o/h on to our property, but is so friendly that she'll let me pick her up,  she'll even jump on my knee to be preened  :lol:

Crumb has the run of our 5 acres, although she has certain points which she will not stray beyond, she's happiest round the house where we are   :D

I should think they'll be fine especially if you give them the odd titbit, Crumb loves plums, satsumas, apples, brown bread and mealworms, eats all out of my hand.
Yours will get to know the people that are normally around and alert you straight away to strangers. The only probs you might have is this time next year when your Gander will get protective of the female.
