I live in Manitoba and we have both Canada geese and bald eagles here. Nobody is scared of bald eagles.......Canada geese on the other hand! They are true Canadians, don't drop a puck or start a war.
I saw my first bald eagle close up in a nearby raptor conservatory. It was about 10 feet away from me, perched. The thing looked nearly 4ft tall and the way its brows were shaped... It looked like it was ALWAYS angry. Truly a humbling sight. (Like being about 6ft from a tiger as it paced back and forth eyeing me and its enclosure. Jurassic Park had me moving on REAL quick)
So True don't even think to start a war with this bird,,, they will call support from their friends the moose,,, if you see 1, many others squadrons of oose will follow ,,, simply run far away
We do have lots of bald eagles in Manitoba. I’ve been close to them a few times, never been attacked by one. They usually fly off when you get too close. The geese will walk out into traffic and stop cars. And it’s not one or two, it’s dozens. I’ve honked at them with my truck and they’ll attack the truck. I’ve had geese attack me too. They are mean, noisy, and have a 6 ft wing span. So they look intimidating when they charge you. At least they only attack when they are on the ground. Although, sometimes they do drop bombs when flying over top of you.
The strange thing is that Canada probably has a larger population of Eagles (the bald eagle) than does the US. In fact Canada helped reintroduce it in particular to New England.
I live about 5 minutes from a ton of them. They have taken up residence in norther Ontario landiflls. They have scared off some of the smaller hawkes & birds.
He nailed it. I believe the Beaver represents Canada more than the goose. The loon is on their dollar coin. But he got the sounds and behaviors perfect.
@@azee9999I live in southern Ontario on the lake shore and we also have several. The city put some wooden boxes on top of telephone poles for them to nest in.
Never heard of this comedian before, but I enjoyed this clip! By the way, it's a "Canada Goose" not a "Canadian Goose". It's the common name for the species "Branta Canadensis". It's a species, not a nationality. 😊
Yes, they do hiss, mouth open, tongue and teeth visible. Then if you don't back off, watch out! By the time they fly south they are done mating, the young are big enough to travel, so by the time they get south, they are much calmer. Spring time in Canada give geese a wide berth! Hugs from 🇨🇦
@@joycelynnelobert8779 BC has wayyy more than the rest of Canada all together..... and Alaska has at least 3 times as many as BC. if you don't count Alaska BC might beat the rest of the continental US.
There is a smaller version in Hawaii called Nene. It is supposedly a descendent of Canada geese that somehow managed to get 3000 miles in the middle of the Pacific ocean and never left. They are viscious also.
I'm sure those 4 goose attack survivors in the audience experienced flashbacks and PTSD after the impression! The reason why Canadians are so polite is because we channel all our aggression and hatred into Canada Geese.
@@catherinetodd5163 yeah, cause 1) they are a protected migratory bird under the law and 2) no one wants to wreak the front of their car AND pay a fine for interfering with migratory birds.
There was such a goose that put down in my Mother-in-laws' goose yard and just took right over. If you took your eye off it for a minute, it would charge. Moreover, it chose victims that were small and weak, like grandchildren. The thing about putting a canada goose in it's place is to be a bigger more aggressive and ballsy canada goose. I am 6' 5" and my wingspan is enormous. I can't do that with my neck(to the same degree but I practice) but thanks to voice training in my youth, I can be loud, with twang and flop that uvula around that makes a canada goose void it's colon immediately. We reconciled eventually and she was delicious.
Ok, grammar police side of me gets quite annoyed by "Canadian Goose". It is a Canada Goose. A Canada Goose can live anywhere. A Canadian Goose must by definition, have a Canadian passport.
I have, the goose beat the shit out of me, he hissed flew up in the air and came down on my head five times over and over. I gave up and felt shame, while I licked my wounds
A flock of Canada geese took over my local Lake and swimming was ruined for the entire summer over a month ago I heard them flying overhead in the middle of the night honking,and I thought, damn there goes the beach for the summer lol.
Seriously had a goose alarms on the building , that sounded, when people were leaving or arriving, to draw. The geese away from the doors . they nested on the grounds and got violent. There is a toutube video out there of a canada goose being attacked by an american eagle and drowning it. . gotta love our geese
Love Pete Zedlacher! I saw him about 20 years ago at Yuk Yuks, and he did a spot-on Arnold impression. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe! This guy is a national treasure and so underrated!
Totally accurate what a Canada goose does, but what's even more scary is that they run around in gangs. They are also amazing poop machines! The only bird, so far, that I've come across that can outdo the output of a freaking seagull, herring gull, or city pigeon. Quite impressive, unless it's a brand new shirt that gets targeted.
It’s Darwinism in Canada. Most of us learn from a young age, it’s called Wild Life for a reason. I love when people try and pet a moose. Even a Canadian goose isn’t that stupid.
I have seen this comedian before on UA-cam with this act. He is VERY funny & does a perfect impression. I WILL say that we DIDN'T "snooze" when it came to picking our bird day. They are ABSOLUTELY beautiful. They CAN be fierce if treated badly. And (according to Pete Zedlacher), are very courageous & can EVEN TAKE DOWN A JET! 😂 Let's see an American Eagle manage that! Despite this, I can say that I have now lived "MANY years" & while I have encountered (Canadian) Canada Geese 😁 OFTEN - I have NEVER, EVER had one single bad experience with them. Like ALL wild creatures you just need to treat them with respect - including recognizing their desire for a little personal space & SHOW THEM that you are attempting to give that to them - even if you ever decide to give them a little appropriate treat - you should not try to get too close to them. The WORST experience that I have ever had with Canada Geese (& it has happened a number of times) is that they try to move out of my way - even with young (& I am only a little over 5 feet tall woman.) - OR maybe THAT is why I haven't ever had any trouble. They consider me way too tiny to ever be any sort of threat. But no, I give them the benefit of the doubt that they just want to be respected & I give them that.

@@adrianmcgrath1984 But trust me, they will beat the shit out of you with their wings. They can whack you real hard. But break a person's leg, not a chance.
I had the experience of trying to leave a building. The goose said “no way” and tried to attack me as I opened the door a bit. Honk, hiss at the door. No way out there so went to the main entrance to join a dozen people held hostage by two angry geese.
Had a summer job back in college, had to park in a spot nearest to a gooses nest just sitting under a tree. Everyone left the goose alone, that was cool. What wasn't cool was leaving work everyday to have this hissing screaming little nightmare pecking away at the passenger door of my van. It was like it knew when i was leaving work, and chose just then to pick a fight with my vehicle. Left a lot of dents. Hated that F'in goose.
yeah, and many people might also think it is the Loon, because of the dollar coin. I love the Whisky Jack/gray jay, but they are not often seen, whereas most Canadians live in cities and most Canadian cities have Canada geese...🙄
His description, movements and sounds of the Canada Goose are quite accurate. They will get very aggressive especially when their young are threatened. They are in many urban areas around the world near ponds, parks etc. and mess it up with the green poop he mentioned. (which is why most locals hate them.) I like to equate them as the Canadian military secret weapon; nice to look at but don't ever get on their bad side - they will mess you up.
I have two flocks of geese that overwinter and nest on the property i take of. They get out of my way as I approach them, and even with young, I’ve never had one hiss or make any kind of display. I’m also surrounded by bald eagles everyday. Bald eagles actually make a pretty feeble sound and are bullied badly by some other birds. We are in the period right now when crows and ravens are making life miserable for the eagles. I live and work on the shorelines of two islands, so get to see the whole battle quite frequently, the corvids will drive the eagles around a kilometre or so from their nests - they'll drive them in any direction, but over the ocean it’s easier to watch the whole thing. Sometimes it’s just one, but often a couple of corvids will chase the eagle, they will swoop at it, collide with it, peck at it etc. because of its size, an eagle cannot manoeuvre as easily. And the corvids aren’t just trying to push the eagles away, they are going for full intimidation. Vancouver has a website that warns of locations where corvids are attacking people. There is no such database for geese (that I am aware of)
This guy doesn’t know that our animal is not a Goose but a beaver. They always say Americans know nothing about Canada, but apparently neither do some of us. But then again, it is a possibility that this comedian really needed a goose to be our national animal for the joke, and understood that the Americans would not know the difference anyway. lol If you feed a deer, it will take the stuff from your hand perhaps by slobbering on it, and you might even feel a bit of teeth, if you feed a squirrel, it will gently pluck the peanuts from your hand. If you pull a handful of seeds out of a bag to feed a goose, it will absolutely f*cking mug you for all you’ve got. And if there are many geese, it will be a gang mugging. You will literally have geese on top of your head, on your arms. Your bag of seeds will be unceremoniously ripped from your grasp, and you will feel nothing by the end other than VIOLATED. lol. And just so ya know, we also have bald eagles in Canada, lol.
Canada has Eagles and Squamish BC does an Eagle count every year. The Eagle is not just American just as Canada goose is not just Canadian both are protected birds.
His impression was spot on. The other day I was minding my business and I came across a goose and the thing literally starting hissing and flapping. I just yelled at him and kept walking. Crazy birds😂
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I see those just chilling out in town, like grocery store parking lot for one thing. You learn to live with them. They are kind of cute and goofy looking, but I find I usually mentally prepare myself for aggressive behaviour on their part. Sure you can just keep your distance and they stay chill right there, but sometimes they are the ones walking up to you. I've never been into a fight with one, but I have been hissed at when walking in a park close by a goose. That being said, I did grow up in the Eastern part of Canada, and they were non-existent there. (Maritime Provinces, by the Atlantic ocean).
Across an open field, I slowly walk towards the flock of Canadian Geese. My pace is slow and my eyes are staring towards the ground. I know that they are all watching me as I slowly wade through their numbers. Before I know it they have surrounded me and are all closing in. Do not make eye contact. Slowing my pace, I continue walking with fear similar to watching Hitchcock's the Birds in black and white. I can see the end. The birds are slowly parting and allowing me to walk through. Slowly exiting my temporary captivity, I know not to look back. I must not risk the wrath and horror of an angry flock of Canadian Geese. Should you visit Canada, beware.... On the other hand, the rest of us Canadians are rather nice.
Black footed cobra chickens do not back down and God help ya if you can't run their wings have been known to brake bone and I have seen one beat up a German Shepard requiring vet care .. it's true they are true Canadians your all good longs you don't piss them off lmao
I find it amazing that there poop looks like dog turds. But they're in flocks, so its all over the park or beach. They are not following poop and scoop guidelines.
That is an accurate description of geese in general. My grandmother owned a couple white geese when i was young, they were better watch dogs than the dog... The candian goose is just bigger, and meaner. And yes i have been attacked by both of them over my life. Unfortunately i live 400 metres from a big lake, so we have thousands of them every summer near my house. Ducks as well, I like those. Our 1$ coin is named after them. Lol
Canada Goose, not "Canadian Goose." Also this trope is tired and dumb. Canada Geese live all over North America. Bald eagles live all over North America. All female geese are aggressive and protective when they are laying eggs and raising young. This is not a "Canada Goose" thing. It's simply a characteristic of all geese. Domestic geese do the same thing. I grew up on a farm. We had geese and they females would attack you if you went near their eggs. It's not a "nationality" thing and the fact that the comments section will most likely be filled with dumb anecdotes about "how mean the geese in Canada are" is kind of embarrassing.
Impression is bang on. I’ve watched Canada Geese kill other birds that get close to their nests. A very Canadian attitude; they’re cute and friendly until you make them angry. Then they’ll chase you down like the devil himself.
The Canada goose is not the national bird of Canada. There is no national bird of Canada. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society chose the Canada Jay as the national bird but this has never been official.
So accurate. Also, never been even threatened by a bald eagle, but those stupid Canadas would stake out territory on my university campus. A square of the sidewalk would have paths worn in the grass on either side, little roofs over entrances would be battlegrounds between drakes, and we all got dancing feet from stepping around the green piles and dodging those arm-breaking attack runs. 😰 Good times.
I was bent over working in my greenhouse with the roof curtains partially open. A thud just behind me was startling. It was a dead Canada Goose. It showed no sign of injury and fortunately it didn't injure me. Very strange.
Amusing, and definitely a good imitation of the birds but the Canada goose is not actually the national bird of Canada. Each province and territory has an official bird (none of them a goose) but there's no official national bird. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society set up a contest to decide on one in 2016 and settled on the gray jay. However, the federal government did not actually name it the national bird of Canada. Having said that, I do think that the Canada goose is part of our identity.
Is that an accurate impression of a Canada goose? It is exactly how our bird sounds and behaves. From her horrible honking cry to that dramatic charging position, Pete has got her down to a T. Our national animal is not the Canada goose, however, it is the industrious and gloriously-pelted beaver. which despite its many skills and attributes is just a giant rodent.
In NB Canada we can see both Eagles, and Canadian geese. I am much more wary of the Geese. Eagles are not interested in people, just fish and smaller animals ( sometimes small pets if you’re not careful) We just leave the geese alone , don’t bug them and give them a wide berth. No one gets hurt.
It is a very good impression and he even got the name right. The species is Canada Goose, not Canadian Goose, they don't belong to Canada, they are migratory and just like a lot of Canadians they spend the harsh winters in Florida. One thing he got wrong though is that he implied that the Canada Goose is our National bird and it is not. Our National bird is the Canada Jay also known as the Grey Jay or Whisky Jack.
Canada goose attacked my Lorry i was parking and they were crossing the street. (I wasnt going to run over or scare them..) He just decided He had the right of way and could take on ny 18 wheeler 🤣
I live in Canada and know to keep clear of them. You can be quite a distance from them when one of them starts threatening you with vocalization and erratic body movements….just leave, back up or it may pursue you. 🇨🇦
I am a teacher and our school is on the edge of the city. We have to warn our students to keep their distance from any Canada Geese. It’s a safety concern.
Well I was raised in the prairie during hard times and we never ever thought, lets kill and eat that eagle. The geese though are the reasons I am here today, with all the trimmings' like potatoes and pigweed and such.
Canada geese are edible but eating a bald eagle would definitely be a last choice. Not that I have ever eaten either but a goose would be more palatable. We have both birds in Canada.
There's thousands of geese that live just here on the river, especially in the bay. They can be annoying at night as they yap endlessly but you get used to their noise.
Yes that impression was spot on 😂
Agreed. His imitation sounds are disturbingly similar to the real thing.
Geese are protecting their young....❤
Nope. They are all ferocious.
@@mackwiz1 Hope, Judy was right. Canada geese are perfectly friendly unless they have a nest close by that you don't know about.
@@Albertarocks : Canada Geese will attack anything within range. If you fail to heed my warning, be it on your head.
Meet our national bird: the gray jay | Canadian Geographic
Sad. The owl would have been better.
Pretty sure the comedian has never encounter an aggressive goose.
I think the thing with the Canadian Goose is that they literally wont back down for anything, basically the honey badger of birds
theyre funny but they got balls and can stand their ground against bigger1s 😆
That's why they're often road pancakes.
Cobra chickens
Mustelids and Canadian Geese... I don't interact with ANY of them 😅

We do have lots of bald eagles in Manitoba. I’ve been close to them a few times, never been attacked by one. They usually fly off when you get too close. The geese will walk out into traffic and stop cars. And it’s not one or two, it’s dozens. I’ve honked at them with my truck and they’ll attack the truck. I’ve had geese attack me too. They are mean, noisy, and have a 6 ft wing span. So they look intimidating when they charge you. At least they only attack when they are on the ground. Although, sometimes they do drop bombs when flying over top of you.
That is a perfect canada goose impression
Left out how geese travel around in packs. So you're not just dealing with one, but thirty of his friends.

1000% impression of the cobra chicken 😂😂😂😂
This guy doesn’t know that our animal is not a Goose but a beaver. They always say Americans know nothing about Canada, but apparently neither do some of us.
But then again, it is a possibility that this comedian really needed a goose to be our national animal for the joke, and understood that the Americans would not know the difference anyway. lol
If you feed a deer, it will take the stuff from your hand perhaps by slobbering on it, and you might even feel a bit of teeth, if you feed a squirrel, it will gently pluck the peanuts from your hand.
If you pull a handful of seeds out of a bag to feed a goose, it will absolutely f*cking mug you for all you’ve got. And if there are many geese, it will be a gang mugging. You will literally have geese on top of your head, on your arms. Your bag of seeds will be unceremoniously ripped from your grasp, and you will feel nothing by the end other than VIOLATED. lol.
And just so ya know, we also have bald eagles in Canada, lol.
Canada has Eagles and Squamish BC does an Eagle count every year. The Eagle is not just American just as Canada goose is not just Canadian both are protected birds.
His impression was spot on. The other day I was minding my business and I came across a goose and the thing literally starting hissing and flapping. I just yelled at him and kept walking. Crazy birds😂
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I see those just chilling out in town, like grocery store parking lot for one thing. You learn to live with them. They are kind of cute and goofy looking, but I find I usually mentally prepare myself for aggressive behaviour on their part. Sure you can just keep your distance and they stay chill right there, but sometimes they are the ones walking up to you. I've never been into a fight with one, but I have been hissed at when walking in a park close by a goose. That being said, I did grow up in the Eastern part of Canada, and they were non-existent there. (Maritime Provinces, by the Atlantic ocean).
Across an open field, I slowly walk towards the flock of Canadian Geese. My pace is slow and my eyes are staring towards the ground. I know that they are all watching me as I slowly wade through their numbers. Before I know it they have surrounded me and are all closing in. Do not make eye contact. Slowing my pace, I continue walking with fear similar to watching Hitchcock's the Birds in black and white. I can see the end. The birds are slowly parting and allowing me to walk through. Slowly exiting my temporary captivity, I know not to look back. I must not risk the wrath and horror of an angry flock of Canadian Geese. Should you visit Canada, beware.... On the other hand, the rest of us Canadians are rather nice.
Black footed cobra chickens do not back down and God help ya if you can't run their wings have been known to brake bone and I have seen one beat up a German Shepard requiring vet care .. it's true they are true Canadians your all good longs you don't piss them off lmao
They walk around my property and the impersonation is Bang On !
That guy was hilarious 😂
Yes, Canadian geese are psycho, especially around this time of year. Great selection 👌
I'm Canadian and while visiting Vegas last year a huge flock went over. I had no idea they could survive the desert.
I find it amazing that there poop looks like dog turds. But they're in flocks, so its all over the park or beach. They are not following poop and scoop guidelines.
That is an accurate description of geese in general. My grandmother owned a couple white geese when i was young, they were better watch dogs than the dog... The candian goose is just bigger, and meaner. And yes i have been attacked by both of them over my life. Unfortunately i live 400 metres from a big lake, so we have thousands of them every summer near my house. Ducks as well, I like those. Our 1$ coin is named after them. Lol
Canada Goose, not "Canadian Goose."
Also this trope is tired and dumb. Canada Geese live all over North America. Bald eagles live all over North America.
All female geese are aggressive and protective when they are laying eggs and raising young. This is not a "Canada Goose" thing. It's simply a characteristic of all geese. Domestic geese do the same thing. I grew up on a farm. We had geese and they females would attack you if you went near their eggs.
It's not a "nationality" thing and the fact that the comments section will most likely be filled with dumb anecdotes about "how mean the geese in Canada are" is kind of embarrassing.
Impression is bang on. I’ve watched Canada Geese kill other birds that get close to their nests. A very Canadian attitude; they’re cute and friendly until you make them angry. Then they’ll chase you down like the devil himself.
That was hilarious, but the fact is, it’s the loon that is our national bird, not the goose. Apparently our forefathers had some common sense.
The Canada goose is not the national bird of Canada. There is no national bird of Canada. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society chose the Canada Jay as the national bird but this has never been official.
Cobra Chickens!!! 🍁
Canada would have more dangerous animals but the Canada Geese scared them away.
Yes it’s very accurate
So accurate. Also, never been even threatened by a bald eagle, but those stupid Canadas would stake out territory on my university campus. A square of the sidewalk would have paths worn in the grass on either side, little roofs over entrances would be battlegrounds between drakes, and we all got dancing feet from stepping around the green piles and dodging those arm-breaking attack runs. 😰 Good times.
I was bent over working in my greenhouse with the roof curtains partially open. A thud just behind me was startling. It was a dead Canada Goose. It showed no sign of injury and fortunately it didn't injure me. Very strange.
Amusing, and definitely a good imitation of the birds but the Canada goose is not actually the national bird of Canada. Each province and territory has an official bird (none of them a goose) but there's no official national bird. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society set up a contest to decide on one in 2016 and settled on the gray jay. However, the federal government did not actually name it the national bird of Canada. Having said that, I do think that the Canada goose is part of our identity.
Horrible geese not Canadian at all....never say sorry and shit everywhere
The ironic things is, I think at most given times, Canada has more Bald Eagles, and the US has more Canadian Geese in "their" respective countries lol
Fun fact: A Canada goose takes a dump every 15 minutes.
Is that an accurate impression of a Canada goose? It is exactly how our bird sounds and behaves. From her horrible honking cry to that dramatic charging position, Pete has got her down to a T. Our national animal is not the Canada goose, however, it is the industrious and gloriously-pelted beaver. which despite its many skills and attributes is just a giant rodent.
In NB Canada we can see both Eagles, and Canadian geese. I am much more wary of the Geese. Eagles are not interested in people, just fish and smaller animals ( sometimes small pets if you’re not careful) We just leave the geese alone , don’t bug them and give them a wide berth. No one gets hurt.
It is a very good impression and he even got the name right. The species is Canada Goose, not Canadian Goose, they don't belong to Canada, they are migratory and just like a lot of Canadians
they spend the harsh winters in Florida. One thing he got wrong though is that he implied that the Canada Goose is our National bird and it is not. Our National bird is the Canada Jay also known as the Grey Jay or Whisky Jack.
Canada goose attacked my Lorry i was parking and they were crossing the street. (I wasnt going to run over or scare them..) He just decided He had the right of way and could take on ny 18 wheeler 🤣
4:13 You hear/see a dozen of those flying over the lake with your morning coffee? Truly the most serene thing in the world, no joke 😅❤
Sorry, it’s Canada goose not Canadian goose, C’mon, eh! 🇨🇦
Not all geese are mad like that, Fred the goose on whitefish island is a dick though. He guards that path his with life. He even attacks my pitbull
From my neck of the woods, North shore of Lake Superior
It's not Candian goose, or even Canadian goose. It's Canada goose.
I live in Canada and know to keep clear of them. You can be quite a distance from them when one of them starts threatening you with vocalization and erratic body movements….just leave, back up or it may pursue you. 🇨🇦
It is correctly called the Canada goose - not Canadian goose 🙃
I am a teacher and our school is on the edge of the city. We have to warn our students to keep their distance from any Canada Geese. It’s a safety concern.
Well I was raised in the prairie during hard times and we never ever thought, lets kill and eat that eagle. The geese though are the reasons I am here today, with all the trimmings' like potatoes and pigweed and such.
Canada geese are edible but eating a bald eagle would definitely be a last choice. Not that I have ever eaten either but a goose would be more palatable. We have both birds in Canada.
There's thousands of geese that live just here on the river, especially in the bay. They can be annoying at night as they yap endlessly but you get used to their noise.
Get around Canada Geese when they have goslings and you are dead meat! ;)
facts and if they have babies look out lol extra mean haha
Bald Eagle there are actually more in Canada than the US.
