Thanks for the link Susan. At a place called Ulvik here in the west of
Norway they local council decided to thin out the Canada Goose population by
shooting a few birds. The bloke who was asked to undertake the deed managed
to shoot just one, after that he didn't stand a chance. As soon as he left
his car the geese swam out onto the fjord.

An interesting article:

Mockingbirds bear a grudge against particular people

In the first published account of wild animals recognising individuals
of another species, the songbirds attacked people who had threatened
them in the past
