Geese get all the press but swans are also seriously aggressive and territorial pricks.

Never understood it. In my experience, swans are stinkier/filthier too. Like lipstick on a pig and suddenly everyone thinks they're majestic.
It's because baby swans are kinda mid, and everyone loves a glow up.
Geese are the "swans" which could be brokered with.
Working as intended then
Do you have any idea how long it had been holding back that urge?
Imagine having an itch you can't scratch for decades (in bird)
That's like getting surprised that the first thing someone does with new dentures is bite the nearest person
🤔
It's like when you get tongs you gotta click em together a couple times, these are the rules.
When you get a new VR set, you have to look at your hands with a sense of wonder.
Swans, the apprentice of the Canadian Goose!
Amateurs!
Lions are lucky Canada Gooses don't migrate to Africa, because then there'd be no more lions...
That's why Canadians are so nice. They took all their anger and attitudes and shoved them into Canadian geese then sent them across the border...
When I was explaining to my son what the difference between ducks, geese, and swans was, I relied on his knowledge of Minecraft to get the idea across: Ducks are a passive mob. Geese are a neutral mob. Swans are a hostile mob.
They're dicks, like geese
Checks out.
When others think you're pretty, you can do what you like.
