    They actually generally don’t fuck people up themselves, most goose or swan related injuries are due to people panicking and hurting themselves.

    At the end of the day, they’re still birds - they have hollow bones and will come out worse from any serious confrontation with an adult human.

      Yes, but also its illegal to kill a goose.

      And I’m pretty sure someone told the geese.

      Besides people panicking and hurting themselves, the only real risk a goose actually poses to an adult is if they get a cut. Those things are riddled with bacteria. Disinfect the cut and you’re fine.
