I so adore my country.
ReplyShe is the exact opposite of the former president: a confident woman who’s not afraid of eagles.
Reply#Correction: The eagle flew away with the goose in its talons, not mouth. Raptors utilize their feet to typically attack and kill prey, and it makes for easier catching without stopping due to center of gravity, etc.
ReplyThey don’t do enough of these segments. Always heartwarming and funny.
ReplyPoor eagle…
ReplySo proud of my country….single tear
ReplyChases off huge eagle while breastfeeding her new born. I think I love her.
ReplySeth, eagles don’t have mouths they have beaks,and they carry off their prey in their talons.
ReplyOh, and geese have been used to guard property for thousands of years (Romans, Chinese). There’s also a whiskey distillery or bonded warehouse in Scotland that uses geese to guard the property today. They have a flock of 20/30 Chinese geese, supposedly the most aggressive.
Applause to the mom and the baby lucky enough to have a great mom.
ReplyCanada Goose: 1
American Bald Eagle: 0
I guess the eagle isn’t so balled after all.
ReplyYou’re right, I’m an animal and my mom scares the living out of me…
Reply“That’s one lady…”
Reply*Puts on shades
“Who’s goose isn’t cooked.”
*Theme music starts to CSI: Myers-ami
You are awesome Cait Oakley!!
ReplyFor the joke to work, you have made the assumptions that sexism is apparently as prevalence among birds as it is among human, so that being beaten by a female human breastfeeding is somehow more humiliating than being beaten by a male human with muscles. The reality is human is plenty scary enough. They have thumbs, they clear forests, they build giant worthless contraption. Not to mention animals would know to not mess with a nursing female animal. Should consider your biases when writing jokes. Just my two cents.
ReplyIf you’ve got a problem with Canada Gooses you’ve got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate!
ReplyBreast milk is an excellent deterrent against unruly birds. The more you know.
ReplyBirds don’t have mouths, beaks, and it was clearly holding the goose’s neck with it’s talons.
