• Urban Canada Geese.
• Not long ago, the appearance of geese in a neighborhood pond was unusual. ... Now, however, Canada geese are considered problems in many communities, and feelings have turned against them. ...
• Geese were captured and moved into new areas; eggs were taken and incubated to encourage second clutches; and in places where populations were re-established, "surplus" birds were moved to areas where geese were not yet found.
• The principal reason for the growing conflict is that relocated geese have not learned their species' migratory pathways, and instead have remained year-round in urban and suburban areas where wide lawns, parks, golf courses, and artificial ponds make perfect goose habitats. These populations have expanded to the point where, by the mid-1980s, many states were concerned about "too many" geese.
• The problems associated with Canada geese are largely aesthetic. They stem from the fact that geese prefer to graze on residential lawns, golf courses, and playing fields. Where geese graze, they also defecate. ... Some worry the feces may also pose human health problems, but to date, there is no evidence to associate geese with human illness, beyond a documented example of allergic hypersensitivity in one individual.
• We should acknowledge, however, that large numbers of geese occupying small bodies of water in suburban and urban areas could potentially pose an indirect health risk. The means to solve such problems, when they occur, should be directed at the ecological conditions that promote degraded water quality, not at geese.
• For some communities, the preferred method for dealing with "problem" goose populations is the roundup, a process in which flightless geese are herded into pens, boxed in transport cages, and sent to slaughter at commercial poultry processing houses. ... It is believed by many who care for geese and the environment to be unnecessary, illogical, and inhumane.
