He may look sweet, but this little prick attacked me today. Granted, I was taking his picture. But I didn’t think he would charge at me. I was pretty far away… about 30 feet… zooming in and keeping my distance as he was eating grass. Then he was up in my lens before I even had time to think, honking and flapping.
I screamed… I stood up and took a few steps back, thinking he would back off, and he started going at my knees, and I didn’t really know how to defend myself or what I was up against. I realized I wasn’t even sure if a goose could bite or what — you just wouldn’t expect that from something so graceful and cute.
A dog, for instance, gives you some warning — a growl, a bark. A cat’s eyes turn red. But a goose just leads you on…
I apologized to the goose and we made up. I walked away — quickly. I was admittedly intimidated by this fowl, and I had attracted the attention of a few onlookers. Not good attention.
Then, I was walking away and I felt something at the back of my knees… and then i heard honking… and I ran.
