Jory Harris is just one of the residents of Waterloo, Ontario, who fears leaving her house. That’s because she was recently attacked by an angry Canadian goose as she stepped outside. Her screams were picked up by the doorbell camera as she sprinted to get away from the bird. Harris, a student at Wilfrid Laurier University, said that she and her roommates don’t know what to do anymore, as the angry birds have made a nest there. They all assumed that their front yard would not be the ideal spot and that the geese would move along. They were wrong. Another resident, who was carrying a box of 20 croissants from Costco, ended up dropping them after a goose began to attack him. “The croissants were flying and the geese started eating them,” said Harris. She went on to explain that she and her roommates now sneak out their side door and into the backyard to avoid the geese. It has gotten so pervasive that Harris and her roommates even make popcorn and sit and watch their Ring camera footage as unsuspecting people walk by and are accosted. Harris said they have asked local animal control for help in removing the geese, but they’ve been told to be patient, as there’s not much that can be done until the birds are ready to move on.
