A recent video titled "I was attacked by a local gang" has taken Reddit by storm, capturing an intense and unexpected encounter with a group of Canada Geese, often humorously referred to as "cobra chickens." The video opens with a person repeatedly exclaiming, "Oh my goodness. I don't have anything. What is happening? I don't have anything. I don't have anything. I don't have anything. I don't have anything. I wasn't even doing anything," as they face off with the aggressive birds.

The comments section of the post is filled with reactions and humorous takes on the situation. One user commented, "The least polite Canadians," emphasizing the irony of the notoriously aggressive geese compared to the typically polite Canadian stereotype. Another user warned, "Never trust a goose, that’s my motto," while others chimed in with remarks like, "Beware of the cobra chickens," and "That Gaggle Gang!"

Interestingly, several comments speculated about the location of the incident, with suggestions like "Regina, SK, Canada?" and "Victoria park? London Ontario?" A user added a fun fact, stating, "Canada Geese are not named after the country Canada, but an ornithologist named John Canada."

Other comments provided practical advice and shared personal experiences with these feathered foes. One user suggested, "Time to go get a bag of frozen peas," hinting at feeding the geese to distract them. Another user shared, "Man, I would never let these absolute other dimension hell beasts get close to me. I have seen them destroy lives."

The video has sparked a mix of amusement and concern, with some users joking about the "gang violence getting outta control" and "crime is out of control nowadays." The playful yet cautionary tone of the comments highlights the unpredictable nature of interactions with Canada Geese.

For anyone planning to visit parks in Canada, this video serves as a reminder to stay vigilant around these fiercely territorial birds. Whether you call them Canada Geese or "cobra chickens," one thing is clear: these birds should not be underestimated.
