Is the porch goose trend popular in Canada?
Yes, and it's growing fast. Ontario homeowners are embracing decorative porch geese for the same reason Midwesterners did, four distinct seasons, a love of front-porch culture, and the charm of a decor piece that changes with the calendar. The Big Apple in Colborne is one of the few Canadian retail locations where you can find Giddy the Goose in person.
Can a porch goose survive Canadian winters?
Yes, with a little common sense. Place Giddy on a covered porch or sheltered entryway to protect it from direct snow and freeze-thaw cycles. During ice storms or extreme cold, bring it indoors temporarily. A sheltered spot keeps Giddy looking great through every Canadian season without any fuss.

Is Giddy the Goose a good gift?

It suits new homeowners, seasonal decor lovers, and anyone who enjoys adding personality to their front step. Pick one up at The Big Apple's alongside other seasonal finds.
Do I only put Giddy out for specific seasons?
No. Giddy stays outside all year and changes outfits with the seasons. Spring florals, summer brights, fall harvest looks, winter holiday gear, the statue stays put and the outfits rotate. It's a permanent porch fixture, not a once-a-year decoration.
What's the difference between a porch goose and a garden goose statue?
