    Thank you.
    I didn't want to get as close to him as I would a swan . I think C Geese are aggressive.

    I'd rather annoy a Canada Goose than a Swan.

    Re4ally? The swans at Bicton Park come right up to you and you can feed them these came up to us here at Horseshoe. They were just like me so we made a good pare . they were or seamed very shy and came right up to us. But I have never been close to a goose.
    This one was a darling I wanted to give him a hug. But I thought better of it the closer he got. I think I have uploaded one of him

    Yes, swans are more powerful and can be far more agressive, Geese make a lot of noise, but back off if you stand your ground normally.

    Oh well. They must have seen me coming . They all ran away.
    Actually I wouldn't really mess with them . They are as you say very powerful. They were hoping we had some food and actually the swan did get angry when they realized we had none. Bread is no good for them
