I am pretty sure most species of Anseriformes, that is... Ducks, are considered potential invasive pest species in Hawaii, thus the mainland hatcheries won't ship them. I am surprised geese are allowed because one would think they have the same potential to "escape" and form naturalized populations....go figure.
For the most part Geese appreciate a pond but it isn't a neccesity . A small plastic trough , like a horse watering trough would probably work just fine.
