Hello Nancy and and Tweeters.
It sounds like a herror story, but i had this kind of experience as a
chield in Germany. It was with a MUTE SWAN in Berlin in one of the many
parks. There having so MUTE SWANS in this parks there every where. I got
attackt from one of this big birds. When it was all over i was black and
blue on my body from there big wings hitting me. To this date i dont even
look at the swans. All the birders i been with there always wounder , that
i dont care for SWANS.But i never see a Canada Goose as this, so maybe
there kind of cracy in there head. I heared that other Swans have attackt
humans, so wy not Geese?When i read you story it sounds funny, and one
almost have to laugh, but for the person who had this experience is no
laughen matter.I missed the other story maybe if some one still got it
please forward it.
