    If you’re mad enough you can just punt them. Birds-including swans- are pretty easy to hurt.

    Can they hurt humans? Sure. Would they win a fight if we took the gloves off? No.

    (Just leave them alone, and we can all be cool- us over here and them over there.)

        Ostriches, emu and cossawry are all dangerous, yes.

        The thing is, we generally don’t want to kill them.

        They may have stringer bones than flying birds, but there still somewhat hollow and still very likely come out losing harder than a human would.

          I don’t want to kill or hurt swans or geese or ducks either. I simply brought up ostriches cause you said birds are easy to hurt, so I gave you a counterexample. I don’t want to hurt any birds.

            Same. and that’s my point.

            if we were bastards, they wouldn’t be as dangerous as they are. Trying to stop something from hurting you when you don’t want to hurt it… is a lot harder to do.
