Hahahaha, you get used to them!!... well, I'll take on one at a time ... they are soooo funny!! They stand up and flap ... honk at you .. and then the head goes down and they begin the charge at you. This is the moment when you need to start charging at the goose with your head down ..(arms flapping!!) hissing like a maniac .... oooh what fun we have!!
Saying that ... it was hilarious over lockdown when visitors (walkers) would come to the village .. and there's a spot where there's about 20 of these .. and obviously we avoid it ... but the walkers with their little dogs have NO IDEA what they're walking into until you hear a song of angry geese ... HONNNNK ... shorly followed by village tourists running in the opposite direction!!
They're particularly grumpy and fighty at nesting time (which is just over now) ^_^
edit: .. and BTW .. the ducks are FAR more lethal than the geese! We've got a murderous duck living in the pond near us ... seriously .. it killed one of the other ducks (crime of passion we think) ... AND attacked the lovely lady goose (Mr goose is NOT lovely lol)
Great story Blue, We had free roving Peacocks. Not very aggressive towards people but real bullies to each other where hens were concerned.One of my most prized pictures lost in the storm that flooded our island was of two males fighting in mid air with the tips of their long tail feathers touching the ground as if they were holding them up while they duked it out.
When they would scream their call some nights, I'd hear my scanner dispatch sheriffs to the area because a tourist called in that a woman was heard screaming in the woods with men laughing.
