I think that's at the University of Waterloo - they would routinely close entrances due to aggressive geese.

Are they angry that the university never accepts any of the geese applicants?

But seriously, what do the geese do inside? Just want to get in from the cold?

They don't want in, they setup camp outside the doors and pick fights with people who walk by. So staff are probably "closing" the entrances so people don't accidentally walk out into a warzone.

Canada geese are evil mean bastards

When someone suggested evacuation, a spokesperson was quoted as saying

Couldn't escape if I wanted to!

Yes, if you stand perfectly still and make no attempt at defending yourself then a goose can give you a decent pinch.

It's bill is essentially a lever...

Shouldn't take them too long to figure out. And then the food is doomed.

You only have to fight a goose one time and it'll start leaving you alone.

Well you see, my neighbour has geese. I read somewhere they love dandelion leaves, so I'd bring them a handful whenever I was walking the dog. They are now so friendly I can pat them on the head

My wife said one day that every time she walks the dog and passes the geese, they start honking like mad and run up to the fence

Turns out the geese think it's the dog that's bringing the dandelion leaves

😂

The leaves. They're actually quite tasty, like peppery lettuce, but they make you pee a lot. The french call them pissenlit, or "Pee the bed"

You can also force them with a bucket and they taste sweeter (supposedly). But if we're feeding them to the geese then I'll stick to making wine from the flowers

Geese are some of nature's biggest assholes. Very aggressive birds.

Nothing to break up monotonous office day like looking out a window to see a coworker running for their life

If I were a goose, the nature destroying humans are the biggest assholes. Its always the point of view.
