  Those fuckers can break a human leg bone or arm bone with their wing

  That’s an urban myth about swans.

  In reality, the bones of both swans and geese are hollow like straw and about as likely to break human bones.

  Really would love to know how a hollow bird bone is meant to break a human bone.

    It scares you and you fall over. Trying to put your hands out to save you and break something in the fall.

    From this popsci article: “Bird wings may not seem all that threatening. After all, like most other birds that fly, the bones in goose wings are hollow. But because geese can weigh up to 25 pounds, the muscles in those wings are incredibly strong. They have to be to lift such a heavy bird into the air and carry it hundreds of miles at a time during migration.

    So you really don’t want to be pummeled by those wings—they can quickly knock down a full-grown adult and cause scrapes, stitches, even broken bones. All of these injuries have been reported after goose assaults.”

      knock down a full-grown adult and cause scrapes, stitches, even broken bones

      Bolded the important parts.

      Falling over for any reason can cause scrapes, stitches, even broken bones, regardless of the instigating factor.

      An adult weighing three times as much of a goose doesn’t fall over because the goose is strong. They fall over because of being startled into losing their balance, which is a feat a sparrow or a mouse could also accomplish.

      Propaganda from big goose. That article was funded by goose & co.

  They’re feared by most animals because most animals (humans included) aren’t willing to risk a fight unless they need to, while geese have a solid intimidation game, and make to believe that they’re big and strong and will fight you.

  A 5 kg dog can also scare off plenty of people. That doesn’t mean an average grown person can’t punt it across the yard if push comes to shove. Plenty of videos out there show what happens when one of these animals actually goes after someone’s kid… the kid usually ends up fine to put it that way.

    Had a few dogs come after me. The difficult part is I would rather not hurt a dog, it is the owner who deserves a punch in the face.

    Usually happens when I am on a bike which is a bit of an awkward position to respond to an ankle biter. I don’t want to run it over but I also don’t want to stop moving away. Of course if I had to I could flatten it with my bike.
