And now for something good going on in Europe: goose parades! They’re exactly what they sound like; a gaggle of geese dutifully march, one by one, in a parade led by a person playing a whistle and xylophone. Their caboose is a dude on drums. Apparently this type of parade, known as “De Ganzenfanfare,” happens every year around the holidays in Western European countries like Belgium and the Netherlands. A goose march in Odense, Denmark recently went viral on TikTok, and now it’s all the kids are talking about!
According to an article on Laughing Squid:
A maitre tambour, a drummer and a dozen pedigree toulouser geese are the superb ingredients of this magnificent act. …Based on the age-old tradition of goose herding it is the roguish, cheerful and surely the most playful note at your festival, street or theater, fair or exhibition, shopping mall or first stone…….
Here’s the viral TikTok:

And another video of a similar goose parade:
So if you spot any Gen-Z teens being pecked to death on the side of the road by shitting/hissing Canada geese, they were probably attempting to start their own goose parade. All for the ‘Tok. Fools!
