Right now, my wife loves the fact that we have geese that come to the pond. She's not too fond of the mess they leave on the dock, but for now she's definitely thinking it's a plus to have them around.
I'm sure she'll have a change of heart when the mess becomes a part of everyday life. Then she'll be asking if there are any good recipes, as long as she doesn't have to watch the removal process.
I think the "flying toilet" description is a classic too. I think I'll be using that one.
