If you don't think there is a difference there is a HUGE difference. Ducks are so cute and sweet and quack around minding their own business. Geese see you have food and it's like WWIII. I was scared for my life.
First there were a couple...and then a couple more...and then they snuck up from behind and tried to steal the bag of bread I had set by my leg...and then more came. And then the fighting started. HONK HONK HONK....head down, hissing, chasing each other around. Now I realized why I saw 3 geese with busted wings.
So here we are...surrounded by like 20 geese. And what does P want to do? Oh you know...pet them. What do they want to do? Eat our bread and then us. So I did what any normal person would do...
I kid. I kid. Although did you see my license plate when I lived in Virginia?
Ok, I wish I had thought of that. Hilarious.
We (or I) tossed these crazed birds the bread as fast as I could and as far away as I could since they were literally not scared of us at all and were trying to take it out of my hand. All while I tried to contain P who was hellbent on touching her new feathered friends. Out of all the birds in the park there was one duck who didn't have a chance in hell at getting a piece of bread. So...that was an interesting trip to the park. I don't know if we will try that again. Although Ms. P thought it was the coolest thing ever and babbled to the geese the entire time!
That thing was contemplating eating her hand.
Probably telling the goose to eat me instead.
What's that? Her new favorite words.

hahaha i hate geese!
Geese are scary buggers!!!
In college, we had drawing class outside one afternoon near the lagoon on campus and omg these 2 geese got too close for comfort, me and my future roomie ended up sitting on top of a picnic they were scaring us soooo much and wouldn't go away! We thought they were going to eat us!
And then there was the 1st time I took Jay down to the bike path last summer when he was only a few months old... we were waiting for my friend to show up with her kids to go walking with us and he got hungry so I got his bottle out and was feeding him on a bench there by the river and omg, the geese were terrible - they started getting waaaay too close for comfort, looking for food... they're terrible here! They're no longer afraid of people and the city is now even encouraging people who walk their dogs down there to let the dogs bark and such at them to try and scare them away, it's become such a problem! LOL
Ugh yes they are so scary & aggressive! When I lived in Costa Rica, there were some families that had them...and they acted like guard dogs...only worse because they don't give a crap about getting petted.
LOL so funny. I remember feeding the geese as a kid...and looking back I don't think I was afraid of them, but now I am. LOL. They are big, and will getcha if they want your bread! Thanks for the laughs and the trip down memory lane :)
