Everyone keeps talking about big messes that Canadian Geese make. I know they apparently poop a lot but we have at least two geese on our pond every day and haven't seen any mess. They haven't gotten brave enough to come up to the house yet. I am sure they could make a mess there. Why else do people have such a disdain for geese?
Canadian geese are invasive. They respect nothing - they crap where they eat. Their poop is a mess, like puddles of algae or baby turds. They are loud. There is nothing soothing about their honking. They bully around other waterfowl. They are difficult to force out once established. They can give a strong peck if you go hand to beak combat.
Remember, if you let them establish you may regret it.
One goose can crap every 20 minutes. That is a lot of feces! Up to 1.5 POUNDS of crap every day per goose.
Still not sure why Canadian Geese get the thumbs down? Let's talk PARASITES! Cryptosporidium. Giardia. Toxoplasma gondii.
No Canadian Goose is welcome 'round these parts. They are noisy, aggressive, disgusting, and they are always the other side of a bottle rocket, roman candle, high pressure hose, you name it.
