You can’t walk in the grass by my apartment complex, because if you do, you will step in goose poop. Goose poop, like most bird poop, is not as unpleasant to step in as say, mammal poop, because birds eat mostly grass. You don’t really notice it, and it doesn’t stick to your shoes, but if you look down, you feel like a disgusting human being.



Due to no choice of my own, I am now relatively familiar with the behavior of geese. Here are three behaviors I have observed:

#1 Geese are braver alone than in a group.



#2 Geese and squirrels are surprisingly cool with each other.



#3 Geese possess the ability to hiss AND THEY HAVE TEETH.



The particular goose I happened to step on spends a lot of time on the sidewalk. Maybe he just wants attention, because he should know by now that sitting on sidewalks highly increases the probability of getting smooshed by humans.



How do I know it’s the same goose?

Because all the other geese have flown back to Canada.

At first I thought it was because he couldn’t fly, and his friends had to leave him behind.



Apparently, this goose just likes to hang around my sidewalk, making my life that much more difficult.



And thus mankind and goose grew a little bit closer.
