I always thought that Canadian Geese were but then I encountered some in
Canada that didn't seem bothered at all that I was nearby eating lunch. I
was surprised that they paid me no mind & left me alone.  I think it is
in places where they are used to people showing up and offering food that
they become (*very*) aggressive beggers.

I used to joke that the Canadian Geese in Canada were more polite than the
ones that migrate or settle here.  :D
