I remember when Healesville Sanctuary had way too many emus. They were really scary, and one stole my lunch.
I also remember when Healesville Sancuary had way too many ibis. I didn't have my lunch stolen, but they would swarm anyone eating and it was a very near thing.
I had my lunch flogged by a pond goose when I was something like 3.
Geese are pretty big and tough. Any 3yo would be totally at the mercy of a goose.
