A mama goose in a "fowl" mood went after a high school golfer in Michigan, knocking him to the ground for getting a little too close to her nest.

The teen, Isaac Couling, suffered no serious injuries in the attack, but the photos - aired Tuesday morning on "Fox & Friends First" - have quickly gone viral.

They don’t attack to just scare you off. They attack to injure. I’ll take no such chances trying to gauge a goose’s intent. I value my eyes more than the neck of a pissed off goose.

My experience with them has been that they aren’t that brave, and if you face them and raise your arms to look bigger, they’ll back off. But if you turn your back or run, they’ll attack.

Re: Bald Eagle “attacking” baseball player.

“the Minnesota Twins decided to go full ‘MERICA and have a bald eagle fly into the stadium as the “National Anthem” played. It, um, didn’t quite go as planned.

Rather than flying back to his handler, the eagle found Mariners’ pitcher James Paxton and then treated him like his own private jungle gym.

The eagle tried to perch on Paxton’s shoulder, but after finding uneven footing, landed on the ground and glared at Paxton before a handler went and retrieved the feisty bird.”

And if it attacked you,you’d probably fall to the ground——these geese are nasty buggers.

I have read that geese make better guards than dogs.

I 100% guarantee swans are.

Birds in general have terrible dispositions and no hesitation to take on anyone, no matter how big.

Everyone we kill and eat is a mean entity turned into a meat entity.

Coat the eggs in their nest with olive oil ... it breaks down the shells and destroys the eggs

Proper response is to pull a club out of your bag and smash the goose into the ground.

But then all the soy-bois and self-righteous bitch grrls would have a conniption-fit.
