My mother was deathly afraid of geese because when she was little, her grandmother's geese would chase her and bite her legs! Pretty scary for a little child!
Really pretty goose - I know that they can mess - mean - Yeah when you're in their nesting territory. I've seen swans be really mean. One of them attempted to bite my grandmother.
when I was a little girl my uncle had geese in a field
they would chase us and we would have to run to get away from them
