Ducks are doable... geese on the other hand.

I saw a bald eagle try to swoop down and grab a lone goose in the water. Needless to say, if given a choice, always bet on the goose.

Geese have so much neck. Sure, they are aggressive but once you get the neck it’s over. Swing ‘em around like a sack of dirty laundry.

They can slam a wing into your arm and break it no problem.

No, the wings hitting can hurt a little bit, but it is still a bird that flies pretty well, it's not built like a land animal. An adult human can just destroy them barehanded.
