I don't live in America, but I've heard that these geese have the reputation of being aggressive motherf*ckers.
You know how Canada has a reputation for being super nice?
They took all the hate and spite humans normally have and stuffed it into these geese.
They are entitled, angry and dumb assholes.
I do not understand why they are protected. There are so many of these pricks where I live. I fantasize about raiding their nests in the spring for big delicious eggs!
They love crossing roads slowly because fuck you. If you maintain your speed all of a sudden they get out of the way. If you slow and wait, they will take ages to cross.
Wife was giving me a hard time because I don't slow down for them. I told her that if a goose were driving and you were crossing they'd run you over and honk after they did it.
No love for these bastards. All they do is turn grass into gooey green goose shit all day.
A duck is far better.
They are protected because they are migratory birds. You can get a license to kill them if they are constantly on your property.
I don't like em but no need to kill them unless they are tasty.
This is the kind of creature who will murder your family in front of you just to taste your tears…
If you mess with them they'll mess with you back. If you leave them alone, they will leave you alone
Not exactly. My old work building used to have to shut entrances because of the geese. Theyd apparently nest close to the door and attack anyone who came in or out.
One time i parked my car, then two geese started fighting in front of my car. I went to get out and they both turned toward me. I quickly shut the door and had to wait the fight out.
Theyre dicks.
Absolutely not.
I’ve walked to school past so many of these wretched monstrosities I can assure you, there’s no detour wide enough…
¯_(ツ)_/¯ I pass them all the time when they are in my area and I just keep walking and ignore them, passing geese like 1m/2m away.
They are. They also shit fucking everywhere, and are very territorial. Which really sucks if they nest next to the goddamn mailbox.
They aren't so bad if you leave em alone. they can be territorial, but I find if you don't even acknowledge them they tend not to bother you back
Hard disagree.
They will provoke an attack if they even think you're getting too close to their gooslings.
I've given them several meters and they still charged at me.
And whatever you do… DO NOT FEED THEM
Yep and swans are the same if not worse.
