Probably have more right since they are part of the grounds maintenance crew.
I find passing geese rather comical because they're hissing and snapping is really for effect. They usually ignore me unless they think they need to protect their young. When it's just a group of adults, they pretty much act like they don't know I'm there. If I roll through the flock slowly, they'll generally clear my way without much fuss. I'm not a fan of the crap though.
