I suppose saying “fearless goose” in the headline is a little redundant, eh? Pretty much every goose that I’ve ever interacted with is quite literally the devil with feathers.
Geese are very famously territorial. Anyone who has been near the sizable bird at one point in their life has probably learned that lesson the hard way. They don’t like to share space with other animals, humans, and in some cases, even other geese. That character trait is amplified when baby geese, called goslings, are involved.
Geese secure the perimeter, so to speak, by being aggressive, loud, and in most cases, downright disrespectful. I’d also like to point out that their honk is not worse than their bite (or wing flap). They are all around ruthless creatures that can really pack a punch, and that’s on full display in this video out of Estes Park, Colorado…
