Terrifying. Geese are terrifying.

Terrifying. Geese are terrifying.

The white geese prefer to be called "Swans." Fucking racist geese are the worst.

Swans are even more terrifying.

Swans are even more terrifying.

They're certainly a nuisance when they stick their heads in the punt, looking for something to eat, while you're punting (or being punted) on the Cam (or, I would imagine, the Isis).

Punt paddles useful not only in the event that you lose your pole.

I've never had swans but I've raised geese before & they can be very loving & friendly! I had 7 African geese at the same time that had imprinted on me & they'd follow me everywhere thru my gardens & the pasture! I had to watch out when I went in the house cause they'd try to follow me inside. Then they'd stare at me thru the glass door & watch me for hours sometimes. When I was in the yard they'd follow me around calmly & be so sweet! I had a kids wading pool for them to take dips in & I had a chaise lounge chair that I sat on while I read. On hot sunny days all 7 geese would be stuff in the shade under it sleeping or softly talking to me. They're really very lovely birds! Plus they're great watchdogs! It was like having 7 Dobermans around that would honk loudly to sound the alarm if someone new entered the yard & then would sneak up behind them to attack. haha

They didn't have their punt paddles to hand, clearly.

Seriously, I've spent plenty of time around swans and, while they can be a nuisance, and their long necks can seem disconcertingly serpentine at times, I've never felt threatened by them.

disconcertingly serpentine

I get along with serpents fine.

Though this one has been a bit nippy lately.

Swans are flying dinosaurs who can srsly f*ck you up if they get pissed off enough. Technically it applies to geese and ducks too, but swans are the biggest and most agressive.

I see you have never met an Emu.

Geese are a flying dinosaur street gang. Why are Canadians so nice? They put all of the assholeishness in the geese.

Given the USAian meaning of "punt" makes this image a little silly.

Or a Cassowary.
