In Scotland any aggression from a goose would be met with; "HAWL YOU BIRD! Git in mah belleh!" *nom nom nom*
We used to do that to romans, but we became more civilized...I use that term in the loosest possible sense.
That's a free dinner opportunity right there irate:Wyrmypops said:Lucky the geese were such pansies. I remember as a kid our family got chased by a posse of the aggresive buggers across Dartmoor.
I think that's mostly myth actually (the risk to us, certainly believe they can break their bones). If I were confronted with an angry goose or swan their wings wouldn't give me much pause, but I'd sure want to take care of the beak having been nipped by accident once.BarstoolProphet said:Also wise to keep in mind that getting wing-buffeted by them can cause broken bones. Both in you and the goose. They're frightfully strong, those wings.
Nipped by Malice once,...'Kin hurt.I'd sure want to take care of the beak having been nipped by accident once.
Not the compulsion but the need.Whit? Have you ever had the compulsion to run into a group of chavs with your arms flailing?! lol!
Anyhow Canadian Geese over here in the UK seem to have become synonymous with chavs.
