This reminds me of a scene I encountered recently at a wildlife sanctuary as a wild goose and her family made a close approach. I wondered if I had a toddler with me, should I scoop them up to safety beforehand, or should I wait and respond to the child vs goose energy before lifting the child up out of the way of any hostile behaviour from that territorial bird? What’s your take ?
Fun question! Sounds like a possible teaching moment that could go wrong. I'd say it depends on the child and the connection I have with them. What a great opportunity to learn how to stand up for ones self. I'd be ready to kick some goose ass if things didn't work out as planned 😊
