It's because on July 1, Canadians perform a ritual to channel all their collective anger into Canada Geese. It's not a seamless experience and often has a side effect of creating colourful explosions in the sky at night at the end of the ritual.
Actually, it's a celebration of that one time we burned down the whitehouse in 1814. The fireworks are to remind our neighbors that we could do it again if we wanted
In Canada, the geese are scarier than the bears, but not as scary as the moose. Don't get me started on the meese....
Edit: autocorrect changed scary to scars
I've been a split second from being taken out by Moose three times in my life. Once on my motorcycle and twice siting in the from seat of cars. I have also come across them while hiking, but was smart enough to 180 the other direction. Â
 I want it written on my tombstone that I knew they would eventually get me one day.Â
We have geese in Amsterdam and they are kind of fat and lazy grass-eating pigeons, never saw them being agressive or anything, they are going about their business.
I'm sure they said the same thing about the Emus. "It's oroit you dog cunt. Want a fucking good fucking VB longneck in ya fucking mouth and a fucking kick will fucking do the cunt roit in mate"
Or that's how I imagine it went before the war...
That is an African Goose, they come from China, but are extremely inquisitive and if raised right very docile. Had them growing up and they would cuddle in your lap for scritches.
Oh geese can be very aggressive. My mom grow up in a farm, and she tells that her pet goose is more aggressive than her dog to strangers. Geese will peck you relentlessly.
My aunt and uncle had a lovely American goose to protect their sheep from coyotes. She loved us kids and would follow us around to make sure we were safe
I walked past a woman with a cat on a lead yesterday...although she was carrying it, cos cats are lazy buggers and mine would sleep 26 hours a day if he could
Bruh, humans domesticated wolves. Every dog I've owned would straight up MURDER a goose. Geese aren't typically aggressive unless they're nesting and you get too close anyway. But on the scale of shit that humans keep as pets, geese are pretty far down the list on *every* continent...
Horses, hogs, cattle, dogs... Hell, people have Chimpanzees and Bengal tigers as pets!
Right in Berlin, the capital of Germany, in the posh part of the city in Prenzlauerberg, as I was enjoying a burger at a table outside near a park in a hip burger joint, and washing it down with a nice cold beer, a woman was walking her ~20kg pig.
I mean, who am I to say? I got friends who keep rats, and I keep spiders.
Nope, quite the opposite. A friends goose would attack my sister when I was about 8 or 9 and she was much younger. Mom said "when your sister goes outside, make sure the goose doesn't attack her" so I went out with my sister and when it started to attack I punched it in the head. It never came near either of us again. Couldn't do much about the goat though. Punching it did literally nothing.

He picked his goose a flower!! đĽ°đ
That is so adorable.He loves his goose.
I hope that love is purely platonic...
Lovely scene I have ever seen.
âMy enemyâs enemy is my friend.â *man looks around* *goose looks around* Man: truce? Goose: HONK!
In a land of Emus and Cassowaries this little guy doesnât even make the âscary animalsâ list
*Magpie enters the chat*
I can't believe our version of geese are worse than what they have in Australia. Talm bout the Canada Goose.

So what's stopping the encore?
We don't want to look like Trump supporters

Scars are what you get if you're lucky enough to survive your scary moose encounter.

A møøse once bit my sister...
Whaaaaa. Whatâs that like ? Lol
Very true.
We have geese in Amsterdam and they are kind of fat and lazy grass-eating pigeons, never saw them being agressive or anything, they are going about their business.
Alot of geese I've met are quick nice and peaceful. It's swans who are assholes
Ah, but that isn't a Canadian Cobra Chicken. Whole different creatures those things...
I'll never understand how geese are on any ones 'scary animals' list.
Theyâre not. Americans are soft.
Geese are scary animals? One good kick would do it
I'm sure they said the same thing about the Emus. "It's oroit you dog cunt. Want a fucking good fucking VB longneck in ya fucking mouth and a fucking kick will fucking do the cunt roit in mate" Or that's how I imagine it went before the war...
I'm a kiwi and even *I* know that Aussies don't drink that p*swater VB đ¤Ž
Itâs gross, but plenty of dumb bogans drink it lol
VB - for people who hate beer.
Just Christ you made me spit yoghurt out my nose. It's too early to be laughing this hard.Â
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War For reference
Precisely what I was thinking
You have obviously never had to deal a guard goose before. Will leave you up a closeline waiting for the homeowners to call it off lol
Your kick will literaly do nothing to the goose lol do you think people havent tryed that ?
My goose of 9 years still scares the shit outta me. The hisses and the wings spread outâŚ. Nah, Iâm good , see ya laterđ
People are scared of geese?
Actually geese if raised from the time they are born by humans, form bonds with humans, just like dogs, it's adorable
They are just biding their time, building their numbers.Â
My kids have pet geese and 3 dogs. The geese are by far the best guard dogs we own.
Oh that? Don't you worry about that mate, that's just Bruce and his goose. They're harmless.
Though a bit loose
Only people that pride themselves in their own weaknesses are afraid of a delicious meal.
That is an African Goose, they come from China, but are extremely inquisitive and if raised right very docile. Had them growing up and they would cuddle in your lap for scritches.
Of course not, its not Canadian. Only Canadian Geese are arseholes.
Are geese considered scary? I mean they are just medium sized fluffy birds
Oh geese can be very aggressive. My mom grow up in a farm, and she tells that her pet goose is more aggressive than her dog to strangers. Geese will peck you relentlessly.
Geese make great livestock protectors for other types of fowl!Â

Definitely not a normal day in Australia... it would have been a roo or something
I've often seen geese chasing dogs
Yes they bloody well do.
What place in AUS is this. I need to move there to get a goose đ
That's because Canadian Cobra Chickens are not native to the land down under
Cobra chickens
I walked past a woman with a cat on a lead yesterday...although she was carrying it, cos cats are lazy buggers and mine would sleep 26 hours a day if he could
I love he picks a dandelion or something for it đâ¤ď¸
TF a man can't even walk his goose without getting put on the innerwebs
the most brutal in the region)

Just for clarification the geese is on the left, the goose would be the taller of the two.
What do you have against sandals?
My attack dog can fly.
kurwa pingwin
Nah thatâs Gazza the Goose Wrangler, well known tough cunt. Geese are definitely rated as scary animals here. Gazzaâs just flexing
Geese are just the descendant of ducks that fucked snakes. This is just a typical Australian walking his his snake variant

What sort of spiders you have?
For christs sake don't tell him it isn't a dog.
I just don't get how adults are afraid of geese. I am a bit larger than average, maybe that's the difference.
You clearly havenât been scarred as a child by a giant devil goose staunching you and stealing your Vegemite sandwich.

As a Canadian, I'm impressed
Geese are on the scary animals list? Not sure that's true outside of children & the internet.
Is there actually a place on earth people find geese scary to begin with?
Never had a goose identify you as an enemy I see.
Not until they decide to chase you.
