Oh, I don't know. They seem like a lot more "honk" than "bonk". ;)
I get that they have a lot of aggression and deterrence going for them. But in a fight between a goose and a human, the human is mostly risking bites and bruises while the goose is risking death.
I put them in a similar category of threat as scorpions. Of course I don't want to fight -- getting hurt is inconvenient. But if we do fight, I'm not really concerned about which of us is going to win.
Sure, humans should worry about crazy geese. Geese have a lot more reason to worry about crazy humans!
