all (one's) geese are swans
One is overexaggerating and not in touch with reality. Geese and swans are quite different, so to think they are the same is a stretch of the truth.

cackling geese
Those who warn of something that is about to happen. Thank goodness for the cackling geese outside who ran in and told us to lock down the building because there was a man with a gun roaming the streets. My wife is skeptical of them, but I always tune in to those cackling geese giving the weather report—I don't want to get caught in a blizzard!
