Fordham University students traumatized by ‘scary’ wild goose

By Jeanette Settembre
April 26, 2023

They’re college kids, but they’ve got birdbrains.

Students at Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus in The Bronx have had their feathers ruffled by a wild goose in recent weeks.

And they say the “belligerent” fowl has left them injured and traumatized.

“I heard some screams outside of my window. Continuous screaming. I looked outside and saw a girl hiding behind a tree,” Violet Marshall, 19, a sociology major at Fordham, told The Post of one recent encounter.

“At first it was kind of funny … but then it was scary. I met one girl who fell running from the goose — she hurt her wrist and now she’s in a brace,” Marshall said of the flight fest that began April 10 and went on for weeks.

Good Grief.  Gen Z.  Dodo bird generation
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

These students better take care and not harass the goose or hurt it, at least not without a permit.

According to the USFWS: “The MBTA provides that it is unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, possess, sell, purchase, barter, import, export, or transport any migratory bird, or any part, nest, or egg or any such bird, unless authorized under a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior.

Snowflakes.
