Here is a dumb story about geese.
It is probably the same in this case, but in Colorado, in cities, geese run this shit. They and their flock will take slow meandering walks across busy streets and as a New Yorker, I find this HILARIOUS.
Except the one time I was driving down this road and there was a turkey the size of a pig sitting in the street and I almost had an accident. A local said I should have hit it.
