    I’ve always wanted to fight a goose how do they attack? Hit you with their feathers? They don’t have teeth to puncture skin do they?

      They bite pretty hard, and they have excellent strength from their wings. They can batter you pretty good, but once you get ahold of the goose it’s game over. You could just sit on it and crush it to death.

      I’ve seen one get pissed at a car honking at it to get out of the way (they’re a protected species, Canadian Geese, specifically), and it actually ripped the license plate off his front bumper with its beak and like held it in its mouth threatening the guy to step out of his car and do something about it.

      Was the wildest shit I’ve ever seen. Like something out of a Miami throw down, except it was a goose and a car.

        This message makes me want to fight one even more. Someone should build a robot similar to how you can do fake bull riding.

      They bite, they peck hard enough to break small bones, and they beat with their wings (stronger than you probably imagine)
