    I learned to fear the Canada Goose when I was bicycle commuting along the Thames tow-path back in the day. However, they are nothing compared to the swans.

      As an Australian, I really don’t get it. You guys have fucking bears in your country, but geese are the ones that scare people

      Edit: oh right the emu war. I get it now

        Also as an Australian living in a major city, the animal I fear the most is the human. Especially when they’re in the driving seat of a car.

      People almost always refer to “Canadian” geese instead of Canada geese. I will frequently chime in with “How did you know their nationality? Did you check their passports?” :D

      Kudos for using the right form!
