Up here in the Utopian Paradise of Canada, you don't get your Man Card until you've fought a Goose with your bare hands!
What do Brits know about geese Americans don’t?
British Geese will sometimes hide toothbrushes under their wings.

10/10 would fight a wolf or crocodile before a chimp.
Absolutely with you on this one.
And i have bare hand fought both a domestic goose and a wild Canadian goose. The domestic kicked my ass(I still have a scar on my hand) and I had the Canadian goose for dinner.

Too many human fatalities.
Yup.
A full grown goose can break an arm with their wings.

"The world’s most powerful wind turbine – the Vestas V236-15.0 MW offshore prototype – has produced its first power.
It’s now fully installed at the Østerild Test Center for large wind turbines in Western Jutland, Denmark, and it will undergo an extensive test and verification program before full type certification and serial production begins.
The V236-15.0MW was introduced to market in February 2021. It has a rotor diameter of 774 feet (236 meters) and a wind-swept area of 470,845 square feet (43,743 square meters) – the wind industry’s largest.
At 919 feet (280 meters), it’s also the world’s tallest wind turbine.
The 379-foot (115.5-meter) blades were manufactured at Vestas’ blade factory in Nakskov, Denmark:
The prototype nacelle was developed and assembled at the offshore nacelle factory in Lindø port of Odense. The test program for the generator, converter, and grid system integration has kicked off at the LORC test facility in Denmark.
A single Vestas V236-15.0MW is capable of producing 80 GWh per year. That’s enough to power around 20,000 European households and save more than 38,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of removing 25,000 passenger cars from the road annually.
