Geese propaganda game module. Total propaganda, you play heroic geese going against basically an evil goose king if I'm understanding this correctly. There was a lot of honking and I was getting nervous so I didn't hang around.

More proof of the old adage: what's good for the goose is good for the propaganda.

Odd you should mention that, since water-fowl sometimes figure in images of the crucifixion, like this Byzantine icon:
Now, officially those birds at the top of the cross are pelicans--but couldn't they be geese rejoicing over the whole thing? It's just what they would do. If they had dice, they'd be wagering for the loincloth.

Brazil prison uses geese to guard prisoners (VIDEO)
A prison in Brazil is using geese to prevent prisoners from escaping. The birds, dubbed "geese agents," patrol a green space.

Hmm. For added symbolic effect, they should immobilize and chain one of the prisoners to a rock in the green space. Make an incision across their abdomen and put a torch just out of their reach.Brazil prison uses geese to guard prisoners (VIDEO)

I have this vague old memory that the Roman Legions used them in the same way as that prison.
Edit: Maybe
Peter Von Danzig has some good links about it?

I vaguely recall that the Roman's had a sacred flock of geese because geese alerted Rome that besiegers were sneaking in to the city in the early days when they were getting raided constantly.

Yeah. Actually, the geese were sacred to Juno first--that's why they were there to begin with--but they supposedly alerted the Romans to an attempt by Gauls to capture the city by scaling the Capitoline Hill at night in 387 B.C. This is the incident as described in Livy.

Geese are like the weather; everybody complains about them, but nobody does anything...
The Venetians in the 1600s were not so sluggish. They had a public festival in which young men ran to the top of a bridge and then jumped out over the canal, trying to catch hold of the neck of a goose held suspended there. It's depicted in an etching by Giacomo Franco c. 1610:
