My father told me once that my great-grandmother owned a goose. Said it was meaner than shit and would chase you all around the yard.

Gotta stand your ground. I know that's true of geese, and I hear it's true of gorillas. It's probably easier to actually pull off with geese though. God I hate those things.

Anyways, this got me thinking: Since when it's that time of year, geese land just wherever the hell they want, are they ever eaten by big cats at zoos?

I had a great grandmother at one time with geese and they were mean. You couldn't approach them without getting bitten. Same with her roosters. She was 'old school' in a real way. Time for a big family diner? Go catch a goose, chop its head off, gut and de-feather and throw it into a pot. Disgusted me as a small child but it was always delicious.

Yes.

Swans can be pretty vicious too. A nearby lake was notorious for the big motherfrakkin' swan that would go out of its way to terrorize anyone who came to the beach there.
That said, an easy way to scare them off... use a blanket, jacket, or similar and hold it up in front of you like a wall and advance on them. Better yet, if you shake it slightly like you're closing in to pounce.
Like most animals they will react to your increased size by backing away.

Nobody messes with Mother Goose...

...except that tiger.
