Swans are even more aggressive and territorial, they just have better PR. Last summer I watched 2 of them kill an entire hatch of goslings and run off the flock. Metal af, but also sad.
I don't want to kill or hurt swans or geese or ducks either. I simply brought up ostriches cause you said birds are easy to hurt, so I gave you a counterexample. I don't want to hurt any birds.
if we were bastards, they wouldn't be as dangerous as they are. Trying to stop something from hurting you when you don't want to hurt it... is a lot harder to do.
It wouldn’t make much of a comic strip. Before the critters finished asking for a ride the Canada goose would have been in a flapping, violent rage and attempting to peck their faces off.
Now do Canadian geese.

Truth. Do NOT come at swans with aggression. Or at all, really. Avoid them. They will fuck you up.
If you’re mad enough you can just punt them. Birds-including swans- are pretty easy to hurt.
Can they hurt humans? Sure. Would they win a fight if we took the gloves off? No.
(Just leave them alone, and we can all be cool- us over here and them over there.)
I'm carrying it like a bag. I am 0% intimidated.
EDIT: Oh, Swan, I thought it was Goose.
Does that also include ostriches?
Ostriches, emu and cossawry are all dangerous, yes.
The thing is, we generally don’t want to kill them.
They may have stringer bones than flying birds, but there still somewhat hollow and still very likely come out losing harder than a human would.

Same. and that's my point.

First panel: Oh a Canadian goose! Second panel: Blood bath
Then when they were halfway across the swan stung the critters.
And giggled slightly.

I hate that fable. I'm glad to see someone retold it in a better way.
That's got to be the most friendly and polite swan ever
Definitely swan propaganda
In comic strips the impossible becomes possible!
