Geese are BLOODTHIRSTY
Owls are not wise. They’re idiots, almost the entire skull cavity is just made of eyeballs, that’s very little left over for the brain.
IIRC from an ornithologist talk, owls have such good evolutionary advantages (eyesight, hearing, silent flight), they don’t have to be “intelligent”. The rest of the raptors are generally considered more “intelligent” for seeking, stalking, and catching prey.
and the earholes
but bird brains are small and dense so they’re still smart anyway
Corvids are but it’s not a bird universal. Ravens, crows, magpies are smart, but owls belong to an evolutionary family that considers brains to be a good counterweight.
not as smart as the smartest birds doesn’t mean they aren’t still smart. also, parrots have similar intelligence to corvids, and even pigeons are good at recognizing patterns
Owls are thought to be wise because of their association with Athena and having dramatic eyes, but they have small brains and are not particularly smart compared to other birds.
I love how geese swim around on the water pretending to be swans
“Look at me I’m a swan, look at me swanning”
Wanker birds
Deer kill the most people of any wild animal in North America. They’ll just brain you with a hoof.
Geese is a good band
Well, was about to get upset and rant that oppossums are not intelligent, they are the very picture of stupidity, and then i realized the post said possums. And i dont know anything about those Australian fuckers, maybe they are intelligent.
Geese taste good in sauce
Urban deer are garden pests and not so gentle.
Then spend about $15 and deer proof your garden.
I live on a farm and deer raise their fawn in our hay fields. We don’t lose anything because we know they’re there and we plan accordingly.
It’s like complaining your baby is falling out of it’s crib and you forgot to install the walls.
Man… I didn’t forget the walls…

You just sent my partner into a gutteral laugh. Well played. They hope you have a wonderful day.
Goose was not valued
Eggs do not lay eggs
I wonder why the softbank goose hadn’t broken out of mastodon yet. It’s been over 3 days.
It’s made some waves on BlueSky. At least, among people in the orbit of Ed Zitron.
I’ll fill that in: Geese wouldn’t have to be around humans so much if humans didn’t turn untold millions of square miles of natural habitat into a sea of asphalt and concrete for their stupid vroom vroom boxes.
I took it as “geese are perfect and need to additional explanation”.
A sign I found IRL. Last time I checked, geese can’t read, so I’m not sure what the point of it is.

Deer can’t read either.
Maybe to discourage people from introducing invasive species in that particular area?
Or it’s a sign for that ONE guy in the neighborhood who insists on taking his obnoxious goose with him everywhere?
Or maybe it’s a Scarfolk type thing?
Geese make excellent watch animals and can fight off predators as large as coyotes, plus they are hardier and more self-sufficient than most other livestock birds, and finally much of their diet is grass (meaning they require substantially less supplementary feed).
This is goose slander. Also it’s spelled “squirrel.”
it’s spelled “squirrel”
Maybe it’s spelled in a British accent? 😁
One of my favorite things when listening to audiobooks is when the narrator has impeccable dignified RP diction and then suddenly the word “squirrel” arrives to cause hilarious auditory chaos 😄
Even better when the narrator has a Scottish accent!
Squir-elles are just French female squirrels.
You can tell by the long eyelashes and how they’re always smoking using a long cigarette holder.
Geese are VERY ASSERTIVE.
Geese are TIRED OF YOUR SHIT
I am with the geese.
