The thing that actually needs to happen here is make hunting geese legal.
They are trash birds. And there are too many of them.
Hunting geese is legal, but you need to follow hunting laws and regulations.
Build a wall on the northern border and have the geese pay for it?
OK, here me out: an Iron Dome but instead of keeping missiles out it keeps geese out.
what if we instead built a tiny dome around each and every goose
Sounds potentially messy if we don’t scale it down. Would feat the purpose for me. The actual geese I am fine with, it’s the insane amount of geese dumpage that I do not approve of.
Canada Geese are protected by the migratory birds act between Canada, US and Mexico. The only thing communities can legally do is take the eggs so they don’t hatch.
Goose omelette… Probably Haitians will only be responsible as per Trump
Well I wish they’d migrate once in a while, because they’re around here all year. They’re also mean if you happen to walk by one and they enjoy blocking traffic.
I fucking hate geese.
They produce an amazing amount of goose droppings.
Seriously. You can’t approach a pond at any of the parks around here unless you want to step in goose shit.
Yeah, fuck them birds. They like to nest around mailboxes in my area.
Oh, I agree. I have far too many memories of being chased around parks as a child in Regina by them. I’m not saying they are wonderful creatures, rather that their legal protections limit what we can actually do about them.
I grew up in Regina and remember my dad talking about not being able to swim in Wascana Lake because of the goose poo/cattle poo contamination.
Fyi Regina is one of the only major cities in North America not built on a major natural water source.

Would Salt Lake City be another? The lake itself obviously isn’t potable.
It seems the City Creek Stream naturally ran from the canyon into parts of Salt Lake City.
That is the exact park of my goose encounters, lol. It’s oddly comforting to know I was not their only victim.
Can I at least deport them? This is Indiana, not Saskatchewan.
I wish you the best of luck in convincing them to leave. If you’re successful, you must share your secrets.
And at this point, that act should be amended. The Geese are fine. There’s no reason to protect them now.
It has more to do with the fact that they are migratory birds. The egg thing is a carve out specifically for them due to their shittiness and that’s literal.

I feel like the US needs more bald eagles around goose hangouts.
Most of the eagles are Canadian, though.
I’m sure people said that about passenger pigeons too at one point.
Confirmed: Americans want to kill Canadians.
Only the ones that spend their time pooping on every grassy area in America they can find.
First Nations eat them birds. I’ve heard they’re fine eating. Of course, it depends where you hunt them. I met a guy who said they’d string a net over a beach at dawn or dusk during migration. He spoke highly of the event.
Ebenezer Scrooge seemed to think they were a delicacy…
Peace was never an option.
It’s like Canadians took all of their negative emotions, stuffed them into Canada geese and sent them south.
Cobra Chickens are mean.
