With the bird flue issues, I would stay away from handling goose manure. It's not like your going to save big $$$ by using manure instead of other alternatives

No. It is too acidic and will burn the plants. If you let it sit and decompose for a month or two then it might be ok to put on potted plants, but you have to let the acidity get washed out of the manure. Rabbit manure is the best for potted plants. It is very low in acidity but is high in nitrogen and has a lot of micro minerals that plants need.
Let it age with some wood chips. The wood chips are basic in nature when they decompose and it should help balance out the acidity of the goose manure.

In small amounts. Large amounts af any fowl manure willl burn plant roots and kill the plant quickly. If its a medium size pot it will take very little to fertilize. I would compost the manure first before using it. This will also help keep any nematodes or fungus from the manure from spreading to your plants. Good luck.

Sure. Any animal waste is great fertilizer, so long as it doesn't come from a meat-eating animal.
Say, you just gave me a good idea. There's a park I know where geese leave behind tons of droppings. I guess the only price you pay for collecting it is looking like a freak. ;-)

Yes, especially for potted pillow plants :-))

Well no until it has aged, then it will be great. in very small doses.
