Mean, Freakin’ Geese

Canada Goose in Stanley ParkIt doesn’t matter if you are in Iowa or B.C. All Canada Geese are mean. This one didn’t mind me getting too close to snap its mug, but a few more seconds, I probably would have been warned.

Yes, it’s Canada Goose[wiki]. After a little reading around various websites, such as here and here, I understand now that “Canadian Goose” is the improper name for them. So from now on, I will call all the mean ones the incorrect name. The ones that don’t flap and hiss at me while running by them will get the correct one.

  1. try being a golfer. no lie i hit one in the head one day on a dare that if i hit one i won something and i would never normally do that but i wasn’t trying to hit it so i hit it. but it is stepping in their shit all over the courses that really rules!

  2. Yes, you are not a true Canadian until those two things have happened to you. 1) A Canada Goose attacks you just for looking at it the wrong way and 2) Your shoe is covered from toe to heel in their @#!$@! But there is one thing worse. When I was five/six, an emu at the Vancouver Zoo peed on my foot through the chainlink fence. 😐

  3. You know, if I knew back then, that comment wouldn’t surprise me one bit. You probably would have paid it with warm chestnuts. 😀
