Valmet Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 After the dreaded “in transit, arriving late” message on USPS tracking, I’d say that pic is right on the money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted July 20, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted July 20, 2021 I sat there earlier and watched them march right in. That was just part of them. There were about thirty of them, in total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfost11 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 There's a flock that lives on the property at work. They don't migrate. A well intentioned but hopelessly naive and misinformed employee called the game warden because she believed one of us destroyed one of their nests and eggs despite none of us laying a finger on it. That call got fish and game out there to see the hundreds on the property, which led to them recommending the department of agriculture get involved, and having the feds pay for it since there is a military base with a runway very nearby. Around 200 were rounded up and hauled off to a food processing plant. That was a couple years ago and the numbers are growing again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't like the look of the boy and bagan to charge. For whatever reason, she stopped short of him. I bet I would have made the evening news if I had plugged that swan with a .45-caliber hollowpoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The local college campus has multiple warning signs posted stating: "BEWARE OF AGGRESSIVE NESTING GEESE". Apparently college students are too stupid to realize that animals tend to defend their young. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing cute about a modern, not to mention aquatic AND flying Dinosaur with a ten foot wingspan fulla anger.

Why did your friend bring a 3 year old swan to the zoo? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd open the door, and they'd back up a bit. Just enough for me to get my hands on the hose. Squirted those hissin buttheads all the way back to the lake. Then...A friggin gator got the mom on her nest in a neighbors shrub. I called "Gator George" when I found the body at the end of the lake. And...that ****** gator, just lookin at me. A 7 footer. George, put the Bang Stick on his ass....Haven't had swans ever again on my lake. They were here for 7 years for that damn gator..."Chicks" every year... Damnit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 A flock nested right at a side entrance to our Great Neck Plant. About 1000 employees. The warning signs were everywhere closing that entrance to employees. Some got attacked, but the primary threat was from the Goose **** everywhere including the sidewalks. A few of broken arms happened due to falls because it was so slippery with Goose ****. Not my plant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass was always green, because it was always completely covered with Goose ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfost11 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 When my daughter was two, we were at a local park where a lot of geese hang out. There are also some very large white and grey geese there that are more aggressive than the Canada geese. One of the big geese lowered his head, opened his wings, and took two steps in her direction just before the picture was taken by the pond. Then the goose noticed the 120 lb. ball of fur and teeth that was stalking right behind her, just drooling at the chance to grab a bird. The goose changed his mind quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
