Flock of Geese

This is a genuine thread and all I want to do is upload any footage or photos as you don't see many of them hanging around built up areas between local parks and canals.
It might be the same flock as last year and I know that they're from one of two locations (Alexander Park In Manchester) and The Manchester Ship Canal. If you've got food like a sandwhich they come up to you but don't have senses of entitlement and become Karens like seagulls do.

But I was being serious!
This is me with a friendly wild Canada goose on my lap

At Centre Parcs (Thetford) there was a sign stating that the male swan is being an aggressive *******, so stay away.

Well, challenge accepted and much to everyone's surprise behind those double glazed patio doors, I walked towards the lake and up came the male and female.
So after a bit of pointing at each other and one point having my hand around the males neck, we came to an agreement and off I walked back to the lodge.
Little did I realise that the male was probably just trying to protect me from a female swan called Amber Heard.

She wouldn't back down and made sure I went indoors and let me know she's the boss.

I still sit with swans when I'm filming or taking photo's but will avoid that one at Centre Parcs

Do you also feed rats?

Canada geese are an invasive non-native species, literaly rats of the sky
They crap everywhere, pollute waterways, destroy crops, kill native species the list goes on.. Horrible things

Swans think they're special becuase they're protected by the crown. But on the other hand, they're far better mannered than seagulls.
 
Not a goose. But there was a "famous" duck at my daughter's university called Long Boi because he was so tall. He even has (had) his own wikipedia and instagram pages.

Sadly Long Boi appears to have passed away as no-one has seen him since early in the year.
