If Mr. Gregory is going to make courtship overtures to the gander--send off friendly vibes, make soothing noises, and offer him food (hey, it was too big, but it's the thought that counts, right?) then why is he surprised when the goose thinks he wants to be ... um ... "befriended?" That goose wasn't flying in his face in an attack--looked to me like he was trying to mount him. Waterbirds aren't big on foreplay.
Wild animals aren't evil. They aren't marching up the freeway attacking humans. When we go into their territory, that's provocation. Or in this case, maybe flirtation.
My mother-in-law lives on a river, and gets geese, deer, etc. all the time. It does get messy, but boy, is the grass lush and green!

ROTFL!
