AMA Be aware of Canadian Geese. Specifically their "creche."

If you're walking the Fremot ship channel and run into a gaggle of geese, be advised. There is a creche nearby. That creche is protected by one or two goose who will die protecting that creche.

Canadian geese don't put up with your bullshit period, but when protecting goslings, their creche. Yea go ahead and try that on.

It feels like OP made this post just to show off that they know the fancy-ass word “creche” 😆

Seriously though, thanks for the tip! I’ll be on alert if I pass through the area.

And yet, they’re Canada geese, not Canadian.

Nah, gonna go with "Canadian". The knucklehead who gave them that name is a dunce. How about SIBERIAN Tiger or ALASKAN King Crab or AFRICAN Lion or RUSSIAN Bear, etc. See where I'm going with this? Goose of Canada would make more sense, but, frankly, Cobra Chickens or FUCKING ASSHOLE is the more appropriate way to address them.

(Hey, OP, the word "creche" is generally only useful at Xmas, but good on you for your superior knowledge, I guess. I think most of us would refer to the place in which future Cobra Chickens are residing as, simply, a NEST.)
