Canada geese, known for being loud, famous for being fighters.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why Canada geese are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden.

Katie, what is your relationship to or opinion of Canada geese?

I like them. I like these gooses. These are good goose. I think that they get a bad

reputation for being irritable, aggressive, and pooping everywhere. All of that is true,

and that's why I love them, because they don't take any sass. They're uncontrollable,

a force of nature. It's a humbling reminder that

human beings, no matter how hard we try, can never tame Mother Nature.

I feel like we just get straight into it on most episodes. We don't really go over our biographies

or like other things we do. Katie, among many things, makes an amazing Twitter account called at ProBird Rights

and the voice of a bird demanding rights.

I'm realizing this bird demands rights very effectively.

It is large.

It is sticking up for itself.

It's great.

Yeah.

They're the kind of bird where you realize, hey, yeah, these things are dinosaurs.

Because I don't know if you know this, Alex, but birds are technically dinosaurs.

They're not even just descended from dinosaurs.

They're the last remaining dinosaurs on Earth.
