If any bird still acts like it thinks it’s a dinosaur, it’s those goddamn Canadian Geese.
When i was a kid, there was this lady who lived on my way to school. Dhe had a nice, fenced garden and two huge dogs and like 10 geese. I was never scared of the dogs, vut the geese were vicious. Sometimes they were on the lose and my way home turned into a survival horror game. They never stopped chasing. Dometimes i took some bread with me to throw and run away. One day they were chasing me i ran like a motherfucker around a corner and threw my last breaf. there was this young family with two little kids, and i was so relieved, because that was an easy way to lose them and at the same time i hoped that they were good runners. I honestly don't even know what would've happend if they ever caught me and i'm glad i never found out. I really miss these fuckers.
Keyboards. Near enough is good enough, right?
Geese, ducks and chickens had all already evolved when the dinosaurs went extinct. They are all tough hombre.
Have you not been reading this thread? Dinosaurs never went extinct. A sparrow is descended from the great raptors
If they know that the gallinoansera clade had already emerged before the K-T extinction, they most likely also know about birds being dinosaurs. Specifying "non-avian" everytime is a pain and saying "K-T extinction" is not understood by all, no need to correct them for semantics when their wording gets the point across.
Swans too. Mean fuckers, they are.
