SF, how is being "pecked in the cock" not "momentary discomfort"? Sure it hurts. So does getting pinched. It's not like anyone's going to go to the hospital because of it, though.
The issue isn't whether or not they make a bunch of noise. The issue is whether or not they're dangerous. They're definitely not. They're annoying when they're aggressive and they get their shit everywhere, but the only way that they're going to cause any lasting damage is if they pass along a disease, which is true of everything in the animal kingdom and quite a few in the plant kingdom. How many folks have lost a finger to a goose? I'm sure there's one or two, but those are going to be extreme, strange circumstances. I'm willing to bet that there are more folks that lose toes in gardening accidents.
