great photo!! How close were you anyway? Geese & porcupines, a fine pair we would make!! LOL

Oh yes, once you feed them they are pester you like you wouldn't believe, I once had one dive into my pocket looking for food! That got my attention!

May 06, 2009

You're too funny! and brave!!!! I run away from pigeons!

May 06, 2009

Great shot! I had a flamingo poke his nose in my camera once, but I didn't do as well as you did here.

Nice close up and you are a brave soul! They are mean birds in my book! They are always chasing and hissing at people. Most business places around here have to get rid of their nests or move them.

love this close up!

May 04, 2009

OMG--fantastic close-up!

I'm sure these guys are use to people feeding them...therefore pretty tame...but ya never know!!!

What a Picture!!! You do need to be very careful of them though....if they get ticked off or for any reason, or get startled...they have a very mean bite!! Especially if they get territorial!!! Known fact: Canadian geese were used outside of prison walls in Germany...they were kept there by placing feed out all the time. But the reason was because they would "claim" that as their feeding place and would defend it. Causing huge welts to those who tried to enter or escape!! I read that somewhere....don't ask where I can't remember....think it was something like quirky facts.... trivia facts maybe??
