Oh man, I hate geese.

[Captain Serious]

There is a lake near where I grew up that's drawn so many geese, people stopped going to the beaches. As a result, a local official hired a service to come with a big truck, sweep a load of them up, and then cook them, and serve them to homeless people in/near NYC. This all happened several years ago and stirred up quite the controversy.

That said, I love goslings, and I love goose for Christmas dinner. I just hate what geese do to any area they occupy. Dilemma.

The goose trigger thing is a joke right?

[MWOS]

Kind of?

[sparrow]

Ugh.  Not cute even when they are little.  Canadian geese are terrifying.  There were a ton of them living on a lake near where I grew up.  To reduce the population they hired people to wade through the reeds, find the eggs, and shake them so that they wouldn't hatch.  Apparently if you destroy the nest they just build a new one and lay another egg.  "Canadian goose egg shaker" might be the worst job I can imagine having to do.  It would be terrifying to have a mom-goose descend upon you while you're messing with her eggs.

Are people really scared of geese? I know they hissss when they protect their babies but I would too.

This is so much worse than feeding them to the homeless!  Unethical, non-consented geese abortion!

It's CANADA geese people. Not Canadian geese.

I learned that on NPR this morning. Apparently they used the incorrect version on air yesterday and they received a lot of angry calls

I grew up in Canada, and yet did not know this!  But, it seems like a weird thing to be angry enough about to call NPR.

[snickers]

Ewwww, they have gross mouths!

[Redpoppy]

Geese, swans, and turkeys. They all scare me. I fear the day one attacks and I have to fight it.
