(12,153 posts)When we lived in the country, our closest neighbor had a flock of geese, who along with their turkey sidekick, attacked me every time I came home from work. I always had to wrap a coat or something around my arm to keep from being bitten. Some people have attack geese instead of watch dogs, and I know why. Geese can be real a-holes when they want to be, and they can draw blood with their nips.

(15,810 posts)I had to bike through a field of geese. The buggers hissed at my son and I for the length of the field (gate to gate, probably about the equivalent of four city blocks). We actually hissed back at a few, which in light of this video was probably a poor choice.

(2,199 posts)I had a "walk off" with a goose yesterday on the golf course. Hit my tee shot, luckliy I made it across the water adn was walking to the next shot when Mr. Goose decided to stoll along with me. He got in front of me and the faster I walked the faster he walked. Thought I was a threat, but the easier escape for the goose would have been to head into the water. Guess he didn't want to get wet.
