They don't want in, they setup camp outside the doors and pick fights with people who walk by. So staff are probably "closing" the entrances so people don't accidentally walk out into a warzone.
Well you see, my neighbour has geese. I read somewhere they love dandelion leaves, so I'd bring them a handful whenever I was walking the dog. They are now so friendly I can pat them on the head
My wife said one day that every time she walks the dog and passes the geese, they start honking like mad and run up to the fence
Turns out the geese think it's the dog that's bringing the dandelion leaves
You can also force them with a bucket and they taste sweeter (supposedly). But if we're feeding them to the geese then I'll stick to making wine from the flowers

If those geese could read they would be very upset

I think that's at the University of Waterloo - they would routinely close entrances due to aggressive geese.
Dasus@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 2y
Are they angry that the university never accepts any of the geese applicants?
But seriously, what do the geese do inside? Just want to get in from the cold?

Yes, if you stand perfectly still and make no attempt at defending yourself then a goose can give you a decent pinch.

You only have to fight a goose one time and it'll start leaving you alone.

That is a damn lie. The goose will just come back with its buddies

Which bit of the dandelion? The flower?
Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y
The leaves. They're actually quite tasty, like peppery lettuce, but they make you pee a lot. The french call them pissenlit, or "Pee the bed"
