One lonely goose gives tough competition to a herd of angry cows in a video going viral online. Social media users can’t stop cheering the brave bird that took on a bunch of cows and stood its ground even as they tried to intimidate it.

In the video, the black and brown bird – identified by the Daily Mail as a Canadian goose – stands surrounded by a herd of aggressive cows. The cows appear to take turns in taunting the goose, charging at it repeatedly. The little brave goose, however, stands its ground defiantly and refuses to give in to its bullies, even nipping a cow’s head and flapping its wings courageously in the face of imminent danger. Many in the comments section hailed the heroic goose.  “I want to be as bold as this bird,” wrote one person in the comments section.  “The power of courage,” said another, while a third added: “Hilarious! Brave bird.”

 An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Stuck parrot

 Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
