Notice the goose didn't attack until he insulted them! "Stupid things are going to get hooked." Or perhaps the gander was angry that the man kept offering stupid inedible things as though they were food.
Oh, I laughed. I love how whoever put that video together gave us the attack scene /three times/!! And the gloating sounds from the goose afterwards :) That was totally a "Yeah, I'm cool, you're a loser," cackling (I've heard that many times, anytime one goose thinks it's got something up on someone else).
I was attacked by a domestic gander (part of my family's flock) once: I was 6, he was with his flock which included some goslings, and I tripped and flailed in a way that must have looked to him like I was posing a threat to his family. So he rushed me and I fell down. But mostly the geese preferred to ignore us; they were a lot less tame than the chickens.
