"Wearing boots is the worst thing to do in a situation like that because they are hard to take off and they prevent you from slipping off your pants as well."

Virtually every kayaker (and many boaters) I know wear aquasocks for that very reason (as well as general comfort).

5 acres in the country..... with very, very green grass. They all free range. LOL

I have told “yes dear” that I would now like to raise a couple of rabbits. She just gives me that—”I’ll lock you in a closet” look.

rabbits are nasty...flea magnet poop machines

maybe you could sell the excess birds as they..err..accumulate, or maybe too many regulations? I think I would want useful animals, like either provide food or hide/fur or wool, etc. The reality is I would have a bunch of plants and a watergarden with frogs lol.

When I was 5 years old, I was literally attacked by a swan at a park. Was quite traumatic... but I harbor little hate for them now!!!

Swan, cob, cygnet. Time to go to Google I guess.

You realize, you are probably in gross violation of the Migratory Waterfowl Act of 1918? We have huge problem with Canada Geese in New England, whether or not they are Canadian, I do not know. What you need is a dog. It is perfectly legal to let your dog chase Canada Geese all over the place, but if you swing a hockey stick or golf club at one, you can be in serious trouble.

I got the story from Roger Caras' Dangerous to Man, minor masterpiece. Mr. Caras would never call a "cob", a "swan" or a "Canada goose", a "Canadian goose", or a "cygnet", a "chick".

Nope, because I never made contact, nor came into contact range with the pesky invaders. I just wanted to make sure they thought I was attacking them, so they would get off the property and not be territorial and hiss/bite/hit me with their wings.

“Pursuing” is explicitly forbidden. That’s what you were doing.
