Canadian Geese. They are super aggressive but cannot hurt you.
Dude one stole some Doritos from me once. Wtf do you mean "they can't hurt you"
One time, I was walking along the sidewalk next to some geese. They were so close that the intrusive thoughts won, and I tried to poke it. It hit me with its wing and left me with a nice bruise :(
If you successfully poked it, was it kinda soft? They look kinda floofy.
The feathers are quite silky, but it was surprisingly hard underneath, at least on the wing.
I've heard stories that their wings are powerful enough to break an arm... But I've never heard first or second hand of that actually happening.
Considering how much denser our bones are than thiers, it always struck me as a risky proposition on their part to hit us that hard.
My nuts would like to disagree with you.
