Giddy the Porch Goose has arrived
Jul 20, 2026
As homeowners continue to enjoy decorating with whimsical décor, one quirky lawn ornament is back and more popular than ever — the porch goose, complete with a whole suitcase of seasonal outfits. Now, a new generation of homeowners is embracing their nostalgic charm.
These concrete lawn ornaments first became a cultural phenomenon in the 1980s, originating in the upper Ohio River Valley and rural Midwestern farm towns. They are best known for their additional wardrobe. People enjoy dressing them in stars and stripes in July, sunglasses and bikinis in the summertime, Halloween outfits in October, and pilgrim attire in November.
Today, there are countless adorable outfits to style your porch goose. Get your bird ready for summer with a patriotic look for America’s 250th birthday or have them flaunt shades and a funny pool float. If you’re looking to strike up conversations, there’s also a hilarious set that includes a bathrobe, coffee cup, and hair curlers. Feeling crafty? If you’ve recently got into crocheting or sewing, this could be the perfect excuse to make your faux feathered friend an outfit.
Real geese were traditionally kept on farms as “alarm systems” because of their aggressive, loud protective instincts. The statues were first created to serve as symbolic, silent protectors of the home.
You can buy a new goose statue at Co-ops across the state. The Co-op’s Giddy the Porch Goose statue (item #3033894) is a 21-inch metal bird designed to brace all sorts of outdoor weather this coming year. The Co-ops can also order all types of interesting outfits to dress up your bird, including an elaborate assortment for summer, fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, winter, along with a wide variety of others.
