Idk man, I’ve encountered Canada gooses hundreds of times and they have left me alone. I know geese have a reputation for being aggressive, but I’ve never seen it.
I find them more arrogant than aggressive. They do what they want, they go where they want, and they don’t give a single flying fuck if they’re in anyone’s way. I’ve had so many near misses with them on my bike because they just walk straight onto the trail whenever they feel like it, then take a massive shit on the path while staring at you.
Geese are CONFIDENT
You know what makes a joke great?
Putting the punchline in the title. Really elevates it to new levels
My strategy for dealing with geese when I’m on my bike is a simple one: Beg for lenience.
Geese are BUDDIES
Owls are “very lucky to have good PR”.
I love the blighters but they are the most stupid, evil-minded little sky gremlins to ever soar awkwardly through the skies.
Beyoo’iful plumage!
They really are quite stupid, comparing bird intelligence. Can make majestic poses, though.
But they’re sky kitties! They even like it if you pet their feathers in proper direction without ruffling them.
They are! Adorable lil’ dorks, but anyone who thinks they are wise or clever has never interacted with one.
They got the right brains to be superb at owling, but yeah, that’s about it. 😄
Feeding the crows either right before or after the owls and it’s night and day.
They do have good hearing though. Wisdom? Probably not.
Y’all haven’t heard about ducks.
edit: and of course right after I post this I see someone commented on ducks. But it’s not just the sadistic sex. My neighbor has ducks and they’re extremely loud, and aggressive to each other, pretty much all the time.
Anyone who says deer are gentle has never encountered one.
I haven’t run into a proper wild deer. I did see a bunch in Nara Japan though. Those things were like pigeons. They’re so used to people they don’t give a fuck about being around them… until someone has a deer cracker, then they swarm.
I have a video of my wife getting gently bit on the butt by a deer at an animal park where you could feed them. It was making sure she didn’t have anything to eat in her neck pocket while she was feeding a bunch in front of her. 😄
That Nara park with the deer always looks like a lot of fun though I do wonder if those senbei are good for their stomachs.
And skunks stink.
Geese are police.
I think they’re beautiful, and looking into their infamously bad behavior is where I began to learn about birds often pairing for life and are very loving and protective parents.
If not for the overproduction of messy poo, I’d rank them much higher, but I love geese in principle.
Goose poop isn’t as messy and liquid as most birds. It’s more like little cylinders.
See, I prefer the liquid poo. It dries quick and doesn’t track if you step on it. If it’s somewhere you have to clean it up, it rinses or fairly easily scrubs off. Chunky goose poo is just like 10,000 mini dog poos on my walk to work or at the park, etc. and it sits forever or gets stuck in shoe tread. Yuck.

I prefer the liquid poo.
R.I.P.
It’s on your tombstone now. No takebacks.
Work with animals and this is not the weirdest thing I said on a regular basis by far.
Never would I have expected that I would spend many Sunday mornings this summer talking to so many beautiful young ladies about treating inflamed squirrel penises. But someone needs to teach them!
I prefer the liquid bird poo cleanup over the mammal poo in nearly all cases, though stressed out hawks can do some gnarly things.
Tell that to my hands as I’m biking along the sidewalk along the river. I had to grab leaves to rub off goose poop. Miserable animals
Geese are full of shit. Actually that’s wrong, they’re slightly less than full since they just shat all over your car.
Love geese, simple as.
'ave spotted grey geese, Egyptian geese, Canada geese, a brent goose and two Indian bar headed geese.♪ The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly, but they’re dumb
Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
Zebras are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently ♪Geese are passionate about maintaining their personal space.
Deer are not gentle. Approach a mule deer and find out how gentle they are. They’re skittish and wary
Prey animals will FUCK YOU UP, because once their flight or fight switches to fight, they are fighting for their fucking lives and as long as there is an inch of life in them, they’ll make sure you pay!
There are lots of YouTube videos of full grown men getting absolutely bullied by deer. I definitely would not describe those whoopings as gentle. Deer go into upright hoof blender mode when their fight instinct kicks in.
