This is really dissonant to read. White geese, yes: territorial and ill-tempered. But the Canada geese I've known have been polite almost to a fault. Protective

This is really dissonant to read. White geese, yes: territorial and ill-tempered. But the Canada geese I've known have been polite almost to a fault. Protective of their young -- but in a very civilised fashion. When I was a kid, I got to know one family of Canada geese particularly well, and after a while they were politely waiting their turn to literally eat out of my hand. Really lovely creatures.
