Students Trapped Inside for Days After Angry Geese Take Over Front Lawn (Exclusive)

• Six girls living in student housing have found themselves with some unexpected guests — a gaggle of geese.

• The geese have become particularly aggressive, attacking anyone who tries to enter or exit through the front door of their apartment.

• One of the girls shared the Ring camera footage of the geese on TikTok, where it went viral.

Living in student housing has its share of quirky moments – late-night study sessions, impromptu pizza parties, and sometimes, an unexpected wildlife invasion.

For one group of six girls living in Waterloo, Canada, their lives took an unusual turn when a couple of very territorial geese decided to claim their front lawn as their own.

What followed was a saga of dodging feathers, hissing beaks, and the brutal reality of being trapped by nature's fury, all of which was recorded on video by their Ring doorbell.

Jory Harris and her roommates returned from class about a week ago to find two geese on their front lawn. At first, they shrugged it off, thinking the geese would leave, but instead, the birds made a nest across the street.

Little did they know, their lawn would soon become ground zero for a geese vs. humans standoff. “Days went on, they're still there,” Harris tells PEOPLE exclusively. “And then the dad just kept getting angrier and angrier and just started attacking people.”

Although geese are a common sight in Waterloo, especially on the Wilfred Laurier campus, these geese weren’t your typical, laid-back, bread-crumb-loving birds. "There’s so many on our campus, but we’ve never seen them angry and attack people before," she admits.

At first, the roommates tried to take it in stride. "We were just mostly watching from our house, and we're all just sitting there, like, 'Oh my gosh. Like, what happens if we try to leave our house?' ” Harris recalls.

But when they did try to venture outside, things quickly escalated. "When we needed to, we would try, and they would get really big and come at us,” she explains. “And we were just all freaking out."

It didn’t take long before the students found themselves trapped in their own home. "We tried to, but when we did leave, we had to, like, go through our back door,” Harris reveals. “Different properties, through backyards, to just get out of the area. Like we didn’t leave our front door for a while."

Each time Harris and her roommates went out, they hoped the geese would be calmer, as they were only extremely aggressive in the afternoon. In the morning, they were tame, and at night, they flew up to their nest. Nevertheless, every attempt to escape became an ordeal.

“The dad will, like, perk up. He'll get really big. He'll start just hissing at you,” Harris explains. “And then he'll, like, run at you and just full force. When we leave our driveway, in our cars, he will peck our car as we are driving.”

Things took a darker turn when one unfortunate neighbor became a bird victim. "This one girl that lives on our street, it took her down,” Harris told PEOPLE. “She has bruises and scrapes and everything from it.”

Harris and her roommates called everywhere, including Animal Control, but were told there was nothing they could do. Essentially, they were told to be patient until mid-May, when bird eggs are expected to hatch.

Despite the girls’ best efforts to maintain some sense of normalcy, a humorous moment did emerge from this chaotic saga when a next-door friend decided to visit.

"He was holding a big thing of croissants. There’s about 20 of them. He just got them from Costco, and they went flying,” Harris laughs. “They dropped everywhere. The croissants were everywhere. The geese started eating the croissants."

It’s clear the geese have marked their territory – at least for a little while longer. Harris and her friends have no choice but to wait it out, dodging beaks and flapping wings, all while hoping for a peaceful resolution by next month.
