They are champion poopers. However, they do get along with the local ducks very well. I used to take my patients to a local park, and there was barely one square foot in which we could step to get over to the picnic tables so we could feed them! 🤣🤣🤣

I still remember their angry hissing...very snakelike! They wanted the food, but they didn't want US to give it to them, so they would hiss and catch the bread out of the air...or fight other geese over it.

Growing up on a farm in Ontario Canada, you have never seen a sight so overwhelming as about 10,000 Canada Geese descending into a freshly harvested corn field in October, helping themselves to the spoils that never made it through the corn harvester (corn binder for the grass rooter's among us!).

An entire 500 acre field can turn from brown to pure white in a matter of seconds as the geese arrive to feed on corn and stay settled for the night, then the sky turns pure white again when they leave in the morning and their honking sound is deafening!

To be honest, we train them to fly south because geese are dumb and they don't know to fly south instinctively! True tidbit of trivia, actually! Canada Geese tend to winter in Canada and only migrate south if the snow is too deep up north.

But they're not actually as dumb as I say they are!

Canada Geese are the only flying species who can fly 'above' the clouds and stay up there for over 24 hours non-stop during their migration season, whereas no other bird is capable of flight above the cloud because it's instinct tells it to not lose sight of land below itself in the first place.

When the geese arrive over destination, they will enter a circular holding pattern until the cloud layer below them breaks up enough to where they can see the ground below the cloud, otherwise they will not descend through solid cloud.

All birds, including geese, must have visual reference to the horizon at all times or else they'll literally fall out of the sky if that visual orientation is lost, which is why they don't fly inside clouds!

That is why it is not uncommon for Canada Geese to be flying in a 'V' formation at altitudes as high as 12,000 feet, sometimes as high as 18,000' if they have to go up that high to stay in clear air with a layer of thick cloud between them and the earth.

But if 10,000 geese flew south to Mara Largo and only 1 bird made it back to Canada alive in the springtime, I don't think you'd hear any complaints us!

If you tried to have goose instead of turkey for Thanksgiving, the goose will be very tough to eat and very greasy in the pot, so I don't actually recommend it.

A point of caution however, is to never get close to a Canada Goose when it's on the ground or else it will attack you and is capable of breaking your arms or legs with it's wings, which is something we Canadians are taught early in our lives to not play chicken with a Canada Goose... because the goose will win!

They need to either come & collect their geese population or let some hunters go after them. They are over-populated, they act like they own the roads and waddle across one by one as a group stalling traffic, and they have an attitude with humans.

Some of them are on my local lake..they never leave.

They do migrate. Please don't send ICE thugs after them!

they must be the ones smuggling in firearms upon their return to canada or else carney would be mandating us border patrol spend a billion dollars like trump did to canada because of the less than 1% of the fentanyl being smuggled into the us from canada.

That's an invasion.

Lies! I SEE THEM ALLOVER THE PLACE OVER HERE 🥔😡

What's the tariff rate?

And you are paying the tariff on them..😷
