Think Geese are mean?
Try messing with a Swan sometime. On second thought.....don't.
Have heard of a couple encounters, one of which the victim feared for his life. Swans are tough critters, and very territorial. Lived in Bend, OR for a few years, Geese totally trashed the downtown park. It stunk and you could not even walk through the park as the entire ground was covered in "Goose Grease" It was a nice park, don't know if they ever got a handle on the Goose problem.

Europeans (especially Royals) didn't keep swans in their moats and ponds just because they look pretty.
They are also an effective intruder alert system, and a moderately effective defense! Plus, if needs must, you can eat them!

Can't blame the goose for getting a bit of revenge.

When I was a very young kid (like 4 or 5) and getting too close to some Canadian geese with my mom. All I remember is seeing a goose, as tall as I was, coming right at me while my mom was yelping.
I don't know how we made it out alive, but we are both still here... |
