A very, very great deal of setting straight the record in re: Geese {their general characteristics, including temperament, ferocity, etc.) is gravely in need of immediate attention, and action. These savage, ill-tempered waterfowl have been mis-characterized for the whole of recorded, unrecorded, quasi-recorded, and so on, History. They will indeed "Turn" on one: Make **NO** mistake. Yet we, as a race, seem to find them....well, I don't know. But I have heard them described as..."jaunty". Perhaps they could be so characterized in a post-maiming fit of exuberance. See next image.
