How large is the pond?
In small numbers geese might be neat. But as a resident on the shore of an Ontario lake, my opinion differs.
We get a plethora of pretty large flocks of Canadian Geese every year. Those cute little gold babies in early May just blend in with the rest of the flock by July. And when the flocks get into the hundreds, some of the young males can get aggressive defining their place. And aggressive geese are noisy geese.

Lots of geese brings lots of goose shit - that messy green stuff. Major yuck for the grass!! We all have tall bushes growing close to the shoreline to keep them off of the land. Their shit is just gross ...
