You're nicer than me -- I like to herd them and to see how close I can get. I'm used to them hissing at me but so far I haven't been rushed nor bitten.

Lol I have been rushed and hissed at.

Some young geese rushed me, presumably they were curious and, I assumed, hungry and I didn't have food that time. http://bloggingchick.tumblr.com/post/4959832707 Thankfully I have never been bitten, either!

I've been hissed at many times, even by swans protecting their young. I was within five feet of the swans at the time and I was certainly wary -- they're big birds and I think they'd be able to do some damage if they attacked.

I love Mallards like the ones in your photo. The blue and green feathers are so pretty; just looking at them makes me happy.
