I look forward to cage cleaning, as I always have a fresh (and folly-filled) newspaper to read. I noticed today that a woman had sued the management of a shopping center (and an "outdoors" store in the shopping center!) for negligence in allowing a Canada goose to nest near the premises. The goose attacked the shopper, who fell and broke her leg, while running from it. The goose has since disappeared--which sounds ominous. It seems to me that this person was approaching the nest too closely--even the manager of the store said that it was not a dangerous bird. Geese do have notoriously bad tempers--and it is best to leave them severely alone--however, they wouldn't attack anything as big as a human unprovoked. I was glad to see that the jury did not award any damages.
