See, that’s why I do not mess with geese. They don’t care, no fear at all. Lost countless golf balls to these creatures!

Thankfully, most of the geese in my town are chill so long as you give them space. People even feed them here and that seems to keep em calm

Go get attacked by one and find out. Make sure it's a mom protecting her eggs. You're gonna have a bad time.

So kick the stupid thing. Grab its neck and swing it around. Too easy

A goose bit me on the ass when I was seven. Wasn't a great time.

Not seven anymore. Just kick it, birds are weak to blunt attacks

Yes, under most circumstances, a human can easily 1v1 a goose... buut, under some circumstances, a goose can 1v1 a commercial jet engine to a draw. But anyway, I don't think that's the point here.

In goose-world, pretty much every living thing will eat their eggs/young. They're just terrified. So, killing one or grievously injuring it just because it's afraid of you and despite the fact that they're pretty harmless would a shitty thing to do when walking-on is just easier.

They have hundreds a tiny razor sharp teeth. A bite from a goose will fuck you up. My sister got bit on the finger when we were kids, really hurt and cut her up. Geese are inhabited by demons.
