I was just being friendly. Trying to imitate an Ontario accent, I said to the male Canadian goose (on the right) :

" Howdy! Watcha doin'?

" "Aah, takin' my gal out for a stroll" he replied.

Then I saw his eyes - that crazy look - Hastily I stepped aside - just in time - because he dashed off past me to bite a tree

If you want to see how crazy a Canadian goose can be, take a look at this video

Who is crazier?

Lol! What a crazy video! Loved it Raj, and your capture of these geese is very good in focus, and color, they sure can have attitudes and that one in the video sure did. :)

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

The video was too funny. I get close to them all the time. They eat out my hand and don't seem aggressive at all. It might be a different story if I had a tail. LOL. Excellent goosey shot, Raj.

That video was fabulous. That man was more than patient with the dumb beast. I wouldn't have been.

Funny video, Raj. I stay away from geese on principle. I know they can be really nasty. Your photo is super of them and it appears that they are tagged. Maybe that is what gave them so much bad attitude.

I know they can be very pushy & aggressive, that's something and the dog just didn't seem to pay any attention.

Wonderful image of these geese, better watch your step and back side
