Saint Martin of Tours, Patron Saint of Geese
Martin was about to be named bishop but didn't think he'd do a very good job of it, so he tried to hide in a flock of geese, But the geese, sensing he was up to no good, honked and honked until Martin was discovered. So now, apparently, he protects them. (You are not alone in thinking "Geese? Since when does anyone ever require intercession on behalf of geese?" You're also not alone in wondering what kind of idiot tries to hide in a flock of birds. This patronage? A big honking mystery.)
