when you learned to never turn your back on a goose.... we went to see my GFs family this weekend, and it turns out her uncle had just bought 2 lovely, and large, toulouse geese
the male is quite massive, with a neck as big around as my forearm ( and I am a big guy)... I have asked for first dibs on any goslings that he hatches from that pair... but back to the main point... I was playing frisbie with my GF's 15 year old brother, when a poor throw on my part landed the frisbie in the goose pen... he yelled that he would get it waltzed through the gate grabbed the frisbie, and turned to walk out again... I managed to get his attention and get him to turn around before the big male got to him... as soon as he turned around the goose did the whole " I wasn't doing anything" act, but he was rushing in ready to attack before Greg turned around... he seems convinced that geese are just bigger versions of his ducks, and cant hurt him... I suspect that he will learn the hard way, sooner or later, but I am surprised he managed to make it to 15 without learning that lesson... I think I was 6 the first time a goose left my legs all bloodied( my aunt kept Canadians and Africans), and a goose that big would have me being cautious even if I was facing it the whole time... so what was your first learning experience with geese...
