It's not a sight Sergeant James Givens is used to seeing, a goose pecking at his cruiser door, but that's what happened Monday, May 9, and initially the veteran Cincinnati officer thought the goose was simply hungry.
"It kept pecking and pecking and normally they don't come near us. Then it walked away and then it stopped and looked back so I followed it and it led me right over to the baby that was tangled up in all that string," Givens said.
The string was tied to a Mother's Day balloon among some of the litter near Mill Creek. Givens shot video on his cellphone. He and Specialist Cecilia Charron called the SPCA, but no one was immediately available to come out. So Charron took matters into her own hands.
"Well she has a couple of kids of her own and I guess that motherly instinct must've kicked in because it was like they communicated. The mother goose didn't bother her," Given said. "So Specialist Charron came and untangled it. It took her awhile because it was all wrapped up."
"I always thought that they were afraid of people and people say they will attack you if you get close to their young'uns and I was just surprised."
It certainly isn't the toughest part of the job, but these officers couldn't turn their backs on a mother and child reunion.
Givens said he recorded it because it's something you don't see every day.

I wish more news was like this. A refreshing break from normal human idiocy.

Or we should eat them to gain their powers.

Yeah.
It even recognized which humans were the designated helpers.
Pretty rad.

Geese are fucking evil, it wasn't asking for help.
It was ordering the peace officer to help, or it was gonna fuck him up

>Geese are fucking evil
Kek. Seconding this.
I would shoot, kill, and eat those fuckers if I was allowed to do so.
>>43967
I would hypothesize that it was no different from a seagull. Living among humans long enough to know we're as useful to them as we are nosy.
I still agree that this kind of behavior human-friendly behavior should be studied. They are a surprisingly social species, so perhaps there is some innate nature in them that can allow them to be human-friendly.

Geese are mean as shit. They will literally chase and beat you half to death with their wings if you get to close to their nesting area. Grandpa had some when I was little. Me and my brothers would get chased on purpose. They also hiss a lot to.

The goose went to a black cop though so that just makes this post even more confusing

Blacks in the ghetto aka niggers

Aside from the shitting everywhere, ducks are cool. They're chill af.
Geese, on the other hand, are aggressive dickheads.
I got attacked by a gaggle of the fuckers once when I was like 3.

This.
>if you get to close to their nesting area.
Don't even have to.
I had to pull a dead one out of the pond at work once.
I was standing ankle deep in what was more goose shit than water, and those fucking birds were standing around me and the dead one in a semi circle, literally laughing at us.
The only good goose is a dead goose IMO.
I chased them at work today just for spite.

Lmao, but spot on.
No, geese aren't dicks. Canada geese are dicks. They're huge assholes that pollute water systems and destroy habitat for other native waterfowl. There are now short hunting seasons for non migratory canada geese. Take advantage of it.
>>44674
mmm geese sounds tasty
>>43971
You mean the ability to communicate with humans...?
Good thread.
I love animals that are able to adapt to humans. Like crows, rats, Etc.

Reply to it in every thread where it might be funny, but don't force it, then.
Once in highschool my friend hit a goose in the neck with a rock and it couldnt keep its head up and walked around dragging its head on the ground
