If those geese could read they would be very upset

[–] Damionsipher 57 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I think that's at the University of Waterloo - they would routinely close entrances due to aggressive geese.

[–] Dasus 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Are they angry that the university never accepts any of the geese applicants?

But seriously, what do the geese do inside? Just want to get in from the cold?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They don't want in, they setup camp outside the doors and pick fights with people who walk by. So staff are probably "closing" the entrances so people don't accidentally walk out into a warzone.

Canada geese are evil mean bastards

When someone suggested evacuation, a spokesperson was quoted as saying

Couldn't escape if I wanted to!

To be fair, it hurts when they nip you.

Yes, if you stand perfectly still and make no attempt at defending yourself then a goose can give you a decent pinch.

Until the geese learn to operate the windows

It's bill is essentially a lever...

Shouldn't take them too long to figure out. And then the food is doomed.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Bill... Gated? By Windows?

"please help me in sir instead of taking pictures of me and then putting them on a social media app sir, sir just let me in man" the goose

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You only have to fight a goose one time and it'll start leaving you alone.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That is a damn lie. The goose will just come back with its buddies

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just fight each of his buddies once and they'll leave you alone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Then the buddies buddies will come for you .

Feed them dandelions and they're your friend forever tho

Ask me how I know

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well you see, my neighbour has geese. I read somewhere they love dandelion leaves, so I'd bring them a handful whenever I was walking the dog. They are now so friendly I can pat them on the head

My wife said one day that every time she walks the dog and passes the geese, they start honking like mad and run up to the fence

Turns out the geese think it's the dog that's bringing the dandelion leaves

😂

"Delicious Leaf Friend! Where are your agreed-upon offerings?"

[–] BluesF 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Which bit of the dandelion? The flower?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The leaves. They're actually quite tasty, like peppery lettuce, but they make you pee a lot. The french call them pissenlit, or "Pee the bed"

[–] BluesF 2 points 6 months ago

You can also force them with a bucket and they taste sweeter (supposedly). But if we're feeding them to the geese then I'll stick to making wine from the flowers

[–] Thcdenton 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wish I had a goose visit. I'd give him some chicken feed.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Geese are some of nature's biggest assholes. Very aggressive birds.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nothing to break up monotonous office day like looking out a window to see a coworker running for their life

[–] Thcdenton 7 points 6 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

If I were a goose, the nature destroying humans are the biggest assholes. Its always the point of view.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Humans are no doubt apex assholes.

[–] bruhduh 9 points 6 months ago

stares menacingly

For some reason I got a hankering to rewatch From.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you're cold, they're cold.

Let them in.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 6 months ago

It's a Canada goose. It's far more accustomed to cold.
