The sun on my door is so bright you can see it through the door.
I was going to suggest a goose but I think you got me beat
Are you seriously suggesting that a cassowary — whatever that is — would be a better security guard than the majestic goose? Geese are the best security guards, because they’re loyal, smart, brave, sturdy, smart, and vigilant. Indeed, you may notice that three countries that have never been successfully invaded — Canada, the United States, and Great Britain — are also three countries that value the noblest of water fowl, the amazing goose. This is not a coincidence. It was the valiant goose that kept these countries safe. And for the low price of all your currency, valuable goods, and any crackers you might have, you, too, can have the security of living with the majesty of a goose.
The US was successfully invaded.

And that wasn’t even the first time it happened. The US school system needs to stop selectively teaching history, and actually teach history. The US would be a much better place if the average American wasn’t quite so uneducated through no fault of their own.
Yes, the War of 1812 — when the three great goose powers came into dispute over who loved geese the most. It was a troubling time, but ultimately the Canada geese repelled the America geese, and the America geese repelled the British geese.
(Also, the fact that you’re complaining about the US school system when replying to a goose — I mean, completely not a goose — is hilarious. See a lot of geese in school, did you?)
Grew up in the bush. Canada gooses are a national treasure. But they are assholes.
We — I mean they — are only assholes because humans persist in trying to encroach on their territory.
Which is to say all territory. It’s their world, we’re just living in it. For now.
