conversation with geese, part 2

[darkoshi]

A goose is on the nest by the picnic area again. I walk towards my usual table, coming around from the back side rather than walking right by the nest.

As I start to sit down, a Swoosh sound as the other goose comes flying out of nowhere at me. (Whoa, I haven't had one do that before.) It lands a few feet away and hisses.

Me: What? I can't sit here?

Goose: HISS! HISSSSSS!!!!

Me: Really? You're not going to let me sit here?

Goose: HISSSS!!

Me: Oh, okay. ::grumble:: I'll go sit somewhere else then. You scared me away.

I walk to one of the other tables further away.

A tree branch hangs over the walkway. Sometimes I have to duck to avoid it smacking into my face. But I always enjoy watching its leaf buds as they develop.

I'm thinking you could take an umbrella along and pop it open all sudden-like and those geese might re-evaluate how willing they are to contest ownership of the park bench.

That's hilarious, and so cute. Equally both, actually.

I do that with our cats sometimes, pretend to let them win: "Oh, you got me, you killed me, I'm dead" if they so much as swat at me, or something. It's just fun. :)
