These full time resident Canada geese, nearly 80,000 of which call New Jersey home, weight in about 7 to 14 pounds and 2 to 3 feet in height.
ReplyDeleteTell the locals to stop the daily feeding of geese with loaves of bread and cases of crackers. The geese are destroying aircraft at 19N.
ReplyDeleteCanadian geese have taken over year round in the southeast. In the greater metro Atlanta area I am shocked there aren't more strikes. Further, these birds take up "residence" in parking lots at retail stores, office complexes, and block suburban streets waddling in the road. They get real aggressive too during mating season and will chase after you. On top of that they leave nasty droppings everywhere and you can't do anything about them as they are considered migratory birds. My recommendation is to first remove their migratory status as they no longer fly south for the winter then back north for the summer, and then declare open season to cull the herd.
