It's kinda weird how the roles are reversed. From my experience, geese are just assholes to anything that walks by that isn't a goose. Eagles tend to keep to themselves in the remote parts of the world.

That being said, they are both majestic birds and it sucks that the bald eagle is practically a symbol of hate and dominance at this point.

What I really need to know is which one would win. I am guessing the eagle is better equipped for a fight, which also checks out.

Eagles sometimes hunt geese, so the eagle would probably win a direct 1 on 1. But geese are aggressively territorial and will fend off predators in groups, sometimes even alongside other species.

Canada geese have also taken down an alarming number of planes, so that's something to think about.

Assuming it is to the death...

1v1: Eagle no problem.

1vGoose flock: Eagle tries to fuck off and the cobra chickens endurance the eagle to death like a flying V of Michael Meyers', assuming the geese didn't find something else to hate before the eagle drops. The best chance the Eagle has at survival is to perch in a tree and the geese can't get at it.

like a flying V of Michael Meyers'

... Michael Meyers' what? Or did you mean Michael Meyerses?

I battled that gammatical quagmire. I googled it and may have drunkenly misunderstood, or perhaps you are wrong, but it is almost certainly me because Google AI results are less than adequate.

I know which I would want to be but I like ones that can fly long distances. If I could turn into a bird it would be a bar-tailed godwit.
