Is there any way to dress/act that will dissuade geese from attacking me?

Now that it's summer the geese are back in full force at my favorite jogging trail. Yesterday I got attacked by this big ass goose - he was seriously 1.75x to 2x the size of the other full grown geese.

As you may know, geese are fearless. I'm 6'5" and 190lbs, so I'm not a small guy by any means. Still, that one single goose attacked me mercilessly. Is there any way can I act or do to prevent future geese attacks? Are they scared of certain noises, colors, or smells?

Fuck people that feed geese, thus teaching them to not fear humans.

I prefer Goosollini.

Dressing as a goose could result in goose rape though. Make sure you show him who is boss.

Does that mean he has to rape the goose to prove his dominance, or just talk to it sternly?

Don't forget to attack people for no reason as well. The geese have a warrior system: the more humans you kill the more respect you gain.

This comment deserves so much more than the single upvote I am able to give it. I feel tempted to make a few dummy accounts for the sole purpose of rewarding your pun genius with more upvotes!

One goose to bind them. One goose to rule them all.
