    Squat down, flap your arms and hiss. You're much bigger than them. Intimidate them.

      DO NOT FEED....they will stick around and it may be against the law.

      The first step is to get up off the couch!

        The neighbor of a friend had a domestic goose who used to attack visitors and peck at their feet. The neighbors had nicknamed it "Killer" for these attacks. He came after me one day and I did that. He never bothered me again.

          "C" is for cookie.  That's good enough for me.

            I encounter this occasionally when I run along a river and just step harder. They don't fly away but they sure clear a path.

                    FYI, birds don't have the 'heat sensing' that we do. Nothing bothers them. Seriously, geese will eat a chrome bumper if they are hungry enough.

                      I tossed some to a seagull once (I was young) and it was most entertaining. Geese, I've never tried, and I guess I won't waste my wasabi peas on them now.

                        I once hunted snow geese over a serrano pepper field in south texas.
