Goose attacks Toys 'R' Us shoppers

A goose in Philadelphia is going after shoppers at a Toys-R-Us store. He sits on top of the building and watches people come and go. If shoppers get too close to his part of the building, he attacks.
He's attacked three people so far.

"He came at you with his mouth open and everything, came right at your back. It seems like every time somebody had their back turned toward him, he comes at you," said Tim Gallagher.

This fowl tempered feather friend, has sent more than one shopper on a wild goose chase over the last few days. It's unclear why the goose is acting so aggressively, though we do they do that if they human are coming to close to a clutch of eggs.

The area right underneath the goose's perch has been roped off to keep the aerial assaults to a minimum, and Toys-R-Us employees have been escorting customers too and from the store.

This silly goose has become a bit of a tourist attraction, walking where it wants when it wants. That included do a little window shopping at Office Depot. Then it was back up to the roof to wait for the next person to nip.

"They pinch that's all, make a lot of noise and pinch and then they go away," said Andrew Green. Article here.
