Goose vs Swan

- On 9th May 2013, I was on my lunch break when I witnessed a Canada Goose protect her goslings from a swan, as the two went head-to-head in a Mortal Kombat-eqsue battle to the death (well, until one fell into the lake and swam off in embarrassment).
The swan was hungry, the goose was angry and the tide was rising.
Why did I upload this over four years later? I'm a procrastinator. Sue me. Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England.

Swan: "Ma'am, your kids are in my way."
Goose: "No sir, you are in my kids' way."
Goose wins!
@@JoeyLamontagne That goose was lucky that it did not get it's neck broken! Swans have unbelievable power in those wings!
Nothing stronger than parents with babyes
Then you got the duck just strolling by
@@gibbr4802 what about parents with 2 babies
Every time a Canadian has a rude or aggressive impulse, they transfer it into a goose. That's why Canadian humans are so nice and Canadian geese are so mean.
AtarahDerek how cruel.
AtarahDerek as a Canadian I can confirm this comment
For the chickens...
That explains so much lol
As a Canadian I'd like to apologize for the goose's bad behaviour.
Goose: Protects it's young ones against a swan in a battle to the death
Human: Adorable, have some bread
"Never interfere" is what they say
Yes, yes.
Fight for my enjoyment
@@in4898 people create the conflict here...its not the "savannah"..
@@badkitty2602 ok
Should have given them seed instead bread can easily kill them
The goose: Angry and stressed at the swan

European geese, Canadian Geese and swans all at the same spot?
Is this what hell feels like?

Its a legendary playground,
Things are about to go down
@Colonel Kablooey England is hell
I live in England
Welcome to the Netherlands, where we have these little shits in the millions! Some of the highest concentrations of geese and swans live in my country
Hell will be what happens to these goose when they finish eating that bread there wings brake.
Swans hiss like snakes, I remember going up to one when I was a kid thinking they were friendly peaceful things, bad mistake.
Yes they do, scary they are. I was warned to keep my distance from them as a kid.
Swans are anger given flesh
You're big enough to eat that swan, even as a child. A weird hairless monster without wings.
That swan needs a massive run up just to get airbourne - there are few places for it to escape to if you attacked.
Of course, you wernt intending to do that, and you couldnt out yourself in the swans shoes as a little kid - but the sean had very little vhoice but to try and scare you off lol. It was life or death for them.
That's what the swan propaganda made me believe as well, until it was too late.

Swan: *accidentally hits goose with wings*
Goose: *A N G E R Y*
not an accident. a swan can easily break another bird's neck with that wing attack.
Really? DAM.
It wasn't an accident
The swan was out of line
Swans are just as mean as, if not meaner than, geese

The Swan stands no chance against Geese Howard
Looks like the Canadian geese adopted a duckling with their goslings never seen a pure yellow one
I believe it stole it from a goose similar to the white ones shown walking by. It is not rare to see other slightly younger or different breeds in a clutch.
Yes they most likely stole the two lighter colored goslings from a goose pair similar to the white ones in the video. It's known as brood amalgamation.
Most likely the white domesticated Goose walking around in this video, laid a couple eggs in theit nest.
Yellow chicks typically become white adults.
It's a play date for the babied
WAIT THEY CAN STEAL EACH OTHER’S KIDS?
The goslings just know by instinct that when shit starts going down, clump up together in a bunch

Goose: “saxophone noises”
🤣🤣🤣
Why does it seem like swans are always trying to pick a fight?
Alexander Kurt Kuechler despite their beauty, they are mean, nasty birds. Don’t go near them
Geese are no better
Alexander Kurt Kuechler Because they think they own the place. But it's funny how quickly they change their attitude when they are offered food.
Alexander Kurt Kuechler swans are essentially super badass geese with an exponentially shorter temper.
Isaac Zelinski from what I’ve seen, I’ve got no reason to doubt a description like that. I’ve always told myself that if a swan attacked me, I would fight back, but I’m not sure if that would be the wisest idea in the world.
Goose used PECK!
Swan used WING ATTACK!!
Geese don't peck as much a bloody bite! They have serrated bills so they can draw blood pretty easily. Believe me, I've been on the receiving end of a gander's attack. Apparently I wasn't supposed to eat my sandwich, it was his.
Having said that, if I wanted a guard bird, they'd be my choice.
😂 😂 😂 😂 Pokemon
@@kezkezooie8595 Ppl always say to just leave them be. Eff that. I'm not gonna stand there while a bird attacks me with a serrated bill.
@@Free_Snooki Yeah, agreed. I whacked one with a bag full of groceries once when I was attacked (I was walking through a local park that had a problem with two really aggressive ganders that took up residence there while on my way home). I'm not into being cruel to animals or anything but I felt no remorse for defending myself. The problem ganders were eventually captured after they injured some little kids. I don't know what their fate was.
@@kezkezooie8595 They're such little brats. I know someone who got attacked after the goose tried their food & didn't like it. Ppl in this world will go blow for blow for a person if someone so much looks at them wrong, but will cower to animals.
0:21 Swan: "We shall do BATTLE!"
0:24 Swan: "Oooo, snacc!"
I love that you can totally tell they stole a gosling from some of the domestic geese, the one gosling is way too yellow to be a Canada Goose chick.
They’re goose-nappers

CZcams: Wanna see sum birbs fighting?
Me: Okay.
I absolutely love how the swan backs off, even those big bastards are afraid of canadian geese lol
I love how the geese initially back off when the swan approaches but once its in the middle of the children all hell breaks loose
No no I think it was just too tired to deal with this shit
It would absolutely kick the gooses ass if it wanted
Yes, but at what cost.. probably not worth it
He didn't back off he tripped. Plus swans dominate Canada geese.
@@Dash101 True, except babies. As with any confrontation between creatures, it comes down to “how serious are you about this really, because it’s my kids i’m defending?”. And that being said, I wouldn’t think that adult geese are going anywhere near cygnets at any time.
Swan: "Move!"
Dad Goose: "I'm always down for a pillow fight."
... Wait. I'm sorry. That was too much dad joke.

It was less him getting shoved, and more just being a big dunce as he used too much force and tripped itself into the water. Its funny imagining it that way at least
In the end, the swan won, the geese later died of a starch-caused heart attack.
White bread is very bad for birds, it's so fattening that it's what's usually used to ready ducks to be eaten. Corn is much more preferable.
Hume zee
the swans were eating the bread too
Goose parents truly are some of the best animal parents.

Sometimes Swans eat their babies. You can search youtube there are some videos about those shit

Yup, very true. Geese don't abuse their little ones. A surprising number of humans do.
I see it like this I feel like - you will be surprised how many human parents let their children be attacked, attack them themselves, or even get other humans to attack them on purpose. As a survivor of just such "parents" I could tell you some stories that would make your hair stand on end.

Goose and swan : fighting for their lives
People around : BREAD
0:31
Love how that duck was like "aight imma head out"
It's a goose
Bread bad for them. Not only it ruins the water but makes them highly dependent on people that they can't feed for themselves. Also bread is not their natural diet so it kind of messes with their digestive system. I highly recommend seeds instead non salted of course.
*Bread IS part of their natural diet now because a steady supply of enough people in close proximity keep feeding them.* Oh it's not regular? So is food in nature. Foraging in the wild is far harder than your life as a person in a cushy civilization might think.
CrabTastingMan I'm just going by the sign posts in parks.
How about dry corn
Jesse12489 be quiet. If they want to feed them, they will feed them

Clinton Cutler i was lookong for some1 to say the time thx
I’m very impressed the goose’s strategic move there. He completely outsmarted the swan while protecting his chicks who were in the line of fire. Swan was embarrassed 😂
The thing that’s scary about geese’s and gooses they t pose
It's interesting seeing interactions in nature. Though I'd recommend feeding something other than bread. It doesn't have all the nutrients waterfowl need. I'd recommend a variety of fruits and veggies. Or, if you don't want to go shopping for all that just for geese and swans, you can get waterfowl pellets from most feed stores or online.
I remember at my school we had two lakes and the geese used to nest there every year. Beautiful baby geese, the adults can be a bit vicious but we always left them alone to do their thing.
I see a Beautiful baby geese,The adults can be Fly.
I wanted to take a selfie with a goose recently. I stood up in front of the flock and walked backwards slowly, trying to get as close as possible to them. Suddenly the geese started to get closer to me, all at once, and more coming in the background. I couldn't believe my luck. I was in trance. I felt I was going to hug them and they would kiss me. The perfect selfie. Hundreds of likes. They were just a foot away from me when suddenly they stretched their necks and bit the hell out of me. Even though I was wearing jeans and long sleeves, they pinched my legs and arms with their sharp beaks till my skin almost bled. The attack was so sudden that when I could finally run, I was already bitten, hurt and bruised. Probably 7 or 8 birds bit me altogether. Never ever heard myself screaming for my life like this. I'm happy I didn't get PTSD.
These birds are no joke. Stay far away from them.
You possibly almost bled because they have spikes over their tongues if I remember correctly
The geese knew you were using them for attention, they didnt let you have it.
or like use your arms/legs to scare them away
@Anna K well, we are more evolved (mostly in intelligence) doesn't mean strongest.
The mistake you made was you didn’t grab them by the neck. I managed to grab an attacking swan by the neck and damn near yeet it, it must’ve had its’ pipes damaged by that action, because it franctically backed off. It attacked me without any provocation, by the way, I was just an oblivious kid passing by it and minding my own business.
"Oh? you're approaching me? Instead of running away you're getting closer? Even though my parental instincts will clearly kick your ass?"
"I can't honk the shit out of you without getting close."
"Oh ho! then come as close as you like!"
So we got chicks, ducks, geese, and swan. This is the biggest crossover in history
Swans are so beautiful. They’re like the super models of bird species.
They're ducks.
Swans are hideous, vile and overrated. I’d put them in F Tier, the real Super Models would be Peacocks. I don’t find Peacocks great either, but I will give them the Supermodel status.

The Swan is like: "you dare challenge me?"
Aww. Look at the baby ducklings!! 😍😍😍
Actually, they're goslings.
Can I pls use this source for editing?
Geese, honey badgers, and wolverines are the only things that pose a threat to humans.
Lacking fear and possessing enough anger to fuel a neutron star is a killer combination.
God bless that brave papa Canada goose and his babies :)
Yeah you don't mess with geese when they have goslings.
Linda Foley the swans found that out.
The swans rule, and the geese aspire to establish a hierarchy.
The Geese be like: ka keh raha hai meri jurwa ko. Teri (abshabd). 😂😂
Those geese are lucky...swans are just basically geese on another level

Wow this is the best "BBC Earth" documentary online.
Both of them are adorable especially the goslings and cygnets. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video. Have a great day. Greetings from the Philippines.
I like how the geese adopted a pilgrim goose baby (the all yellow baby) At least I'm pretty sure it's a pilgrim gosling.
The babies are so tiny, cute, and fluffy! 😍😍😍
Never thought a goose would stand a chance against a swan!
In a streaght up fight the goose would have a very bad time of it. He is not in the same weight class.
They dont around my area, the geese see the swans they give way.
Canadian Geese will fight to the death when babies safety is at risk. I don’t think swans can match that, too much hassle.
Goose: who are you?
Swan: you but bigger
Duck: hey
Awww, they're beautiful birdies! - beautiful BIG birdies! The babies are so fluffy and cute!
It took this video for me to realize that swans are significantly bigger than geese - and their arched necks make them different from the straightened ones of the geese.
I live in San Antonio, TX - so, we don't get much geese or swans here. We only have them at parks - most notably, Woodlawn Lake...oh, I used to love it when one of the geese would follow my mom and I; we used to feed the geese there. I thought they were cute! - even though they were adults...
Anger goose vs ballet goose
Grove street vs ballas
really vibing with the swan's reaction, it fell into the water and immediately started eating like 'yeah this is what i wanted so jot that down'
The animal kingdom equivalent of the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object
Unstoppable force vs an unstoppable force
Dumb and dumber
the geese near my area are surprisingly calm. they'll hiss at you if they have babies, but you could be a foot away from them and they'll ignore you.
Hell, if you watch closely that goose actually got smacked up.
Gotta love the description though.
OMG🙀 did'nt even know that an goose could get 9 eggs in a nest. Good capturing 🤗❤️
I got chased by geese. I started to feed them bread, there was about a dozen adult geese, and I ran lol
