Canada geese are the worst. But I'm rooting for one in this case.

(one of the first things I learned at The Daily was that they are not "Canadian" geese)

I mean, I'm not really shocked. If you've ever seen bald eagles in the wild, they behave more like overgrown seagulls than the dignified predators you've been conditioned to expect - they even sound ridiculous.

Canada geese, though? They'll straight up fuck you up.

Hey, I think they sound pretty. Not badass, but pretty at least.
