The eagle has sharp talons but geese can get help from the rest of the herd.

So with numbers, we can beat the one eagle

In this case, the goose didn't even need numbers. The eagle eventually gave up the fight and flew away. Something something, don't start a fight you can't finish.

Don't mess with the Goose, America, you'll get the HONK.

Predators, particularly solitary predators, need to avoid injury at all costs. If they're injured, they can't hunt, and if they can't hunt, they'll starve to death. Because of this, they tend to run away quickly when a fight starts to drag on.

Canada geese are herbivores, though, so they don't have to worry about that; after all, the grass isn't going anywhere. This allows them to fight harder than a predator would.
