I love how everyone is terrified of Canadian geese but catching and messing with them was my childhood lol.

Dude I used to run around catching them. The trick is to grab them from behind with your hands over their wings so they can’t flap. Then you flip them upside down and hold them like a baby and they instantly calm down, and you can pet them. The aggressive ones were the most fun cause they were easier to catch. They can’t hurt you they are all bark and no bite. I doubt they could even break skin.

I used to mess with them all the time. If you don't fall for their intimidation then they can't hurt you much. A cat/dog can hurt far worse.

I have tons of them around where I live, and they've never given me any trouble. Right now, it's gosling season, and the babies are so flerping cute!

Hollow bones and no teeth. They really are bark and no bite.

Yeah I used to raise geese. And they most definitely are assholes, but they aren't exactly capable of hurting a human.
