I've got ducks. They are cute and hilarious and lay the most delicious eggs, but they aren't this kind of fun-monster.

Still technically dinosaurs.

Have you ever been chased by lapwings, in your childhood, as you wanted to play bets (kind of cricket) with your friends, because the bloody birds think that public parks are their Lebensraum and infant hairless monkeys have no place in their Vogelreich?

Have you ever been beaked by geese because you were in the wrong place, wrong time? There's a reason why people refer to them locally as "feathered hounds" or "Polish hounds", they're like beaked pit bulls!

It's fucking terrifying! And you want the teethed version of this??? Blasphemy!

As a wise ~~woman~~ cat would say, ~~mprrr mprrr~~ "I wish that I could murder those little pieces of shit".

(I'm joking, of course. The video and their little dance are fucking cute - thank you for sharing this!)

Oh. I know the geese. They just lack discipline and are used to scaring children.

Easy to command if you know what you're doing.

Aside: it is kinda weird that geese and deer are such pests and tame with humans. They're tasty, and everywhere we went, we ate all the large animals to extinction.

It's baffled me for the last 20+ years, after I moved to a region where Canada geese are protected, that they simply have no idea how tasty they are. Such unconscionable assholes at every opportunity, and yet — with a nice Montepulciano and citrusy greens or a side of fresh cacio é pepé? 🤌🏼 Mmm. Divine. 👩‍🍳🔥

Mmm. Duck/goose fat. Liquid gold.
