    Nah. Geese aren’t mean enough. Get swans involved. Those fuckers will fight anything and are gigantic. Saw a swan drown a Canada goose for absolutely no reason once. It was brutal.

      I used to row (in the UK) and agree. Swans are fucking terrifying and give zero fucks. I accidentally hit one with my oar once. I’ve been marked ever since. 👀

        My grandmother’s only negative story about the war, in which both her school and home were destroyed by bombers, was about the fucking swans she had to deal with in the countryside after being evacuated.

      Seconded! The swan is the national bird of Denmark. Officially something about a voting process 40years ago on TV. But unofficially we were just really scared of the bird and tried appeasing it.

      Did you know that a swan can break your arm?

        Lmao you gotta appease the swans, because to them, violence was never an option.

        I don’t doubt that a swan can fuck you up big time.
