A lawn goose decorated for the Fourth of July

The concrete goose, also known as a porch goose or lawn goose, is a popular lawn ornament in the United States. Concrete geese reached the peak of their popularity in the 1980s,[1] but are still common in the Midwestern United States. [2]

It is not uncommon for owners of concrete geese to dress them in costumes for seasonal holidays,[3] to match the weather, or just as decoration. [4]
