Roosters can be dickheads.
Never ran across one that was that much of a dickhead but I have known a Turkey and a couple gooses that were actually a threat to the public.
Particularly to stray children.
They all turned into neighborhood dinners with no complaints

My parents had a goose and gander for a while when I was a preschooler. The gander thought he was boss, and would put me, the game rooster, and calves, on the run. He even ran off a bobcat. Not saying he would have won the fight, had there been one, but he charged, wings spread, head bobbing, spluttering in rage, and the bobcat turned tail.

His luck ran out when he savaged my younger sister. Can’t say I remember the taste, but I can say I have eaten goose tamales. His former mate disappeared a few days later. All but a few feathers. My parents supposed the bobcat had returned.
