Willowbrook Nature Preserve confirmed a 200-year-old white oak secured a restraining order against a belligerent Canada goose, in what experts call the first flora-fauna harassment case. Identified as Quercus alba #47-B, the tree filed through attorney Bark McWood after three weeks of “relentless aerial assaults” during photosynthesis. The goose, a 12-pound male named Gerald, allegedly dive-bombed lower branches, causing $50,000 in emotional trauma and unsolicited pruning. Park ranger Susan Elmsworth described daily 7 AM standoffs. Gerald would stare from fifty feet, then charge, honking and pecking as the tree “rustled in distress.” Video shows threat displays—neck-stretching, aggressive wing-flapping, and what ornithologist Dr. Martha Featherworth deemed “extremely rude goose profanity.” Gerald’s defense, Honk & Associates, argued the oak’s “suspicious swaying” and “provocative rustling” menaced his nearby nest. Judge Patricia Woodland disagreed, ruling swaying a fundamental tree right under the 1973 Arbor Protection Act. The order bars Gerald within 25 feet and forbids aggressive honking or “intimidating waddle displays.” A small fence and warning signs now encircle the oak. “We never thought we’d need a bailiff for tree court,” said Parks supervisor Tom Branchwell. Gerald reportedly complies, glaring from the legal limit and muttering goose profanities.
