Angry bird

April 2, 2013 by Mike Powell

I am not sure what the other Canada Goose said or did, but this goose was clearly an angry bird yesterday. He seemed to put his whole body into the expression of his strong feelings, from the tip of this tongue to the tip of his tail.

Do they have a goose in the game Angry Birds? If not, perhaps they should.

I have a white gander who does this on occasion. But I have trouble taking him serious as the only thing he has attacked has been a goat. Guess who won that one?

That’s great body language. Subtle but effective.

I think it’s part of his territorial display — I got a kick out of a male Canada Goose screeching his honk into his female’s ear the other day.

There’s no goose in Angry Birds, but for some reason he reminds me of the “boomerang” one in the Rio version 🙂 Great capture, Mike! I’ve never seen any of them showing their tongue like that before.
