Goose Population Booms in the Midwest

goose population in the Midwest has been booming in recent years, spurring concerns among farmers and homeowners alike. Changes in the environment, such as the expansion of agriculture and the increase in development, are thought to be contributing to the growth in goose populations.

Geese can cause a lot of damage to crops and property. They can also be a nuisance to people, leaving behind droppings and creating a mess. Some communities have started to implement ordinances limiting how close geese can get to homes and businesses, but many people find these tactics to be unsatisfactory.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem of goose overpopulation, but there are some things that can be done to help minimize the damage caused by these birds. For example, farmers can take steps to make their land less appealing to geese, such as preventing them from accessing food or water sources. Homeowners can install motion-activated sprinklers or other deterrents around their property.

Ultimately, it will take cooperation from everyone affected by goose overpopulation to find a solution that works for them. By working together, we can hopefully find a way to keep these birds from becoming a nuisance in our communities.

Goose Invasion Leaves Local Farmers Speechless

For the past few years, a family of wild geese has made their home in a small pond on the edge of Farmer John's farm. This year, however, the geese have done something Farmer John hasn't seen before.

"They completely took over the pond!" said Farmer John. "There were so many of them that the water was almost black with their poop. It was absolutely disgusting!"

Not only did the geese poop all over the pond, they also damaged crops and destroyed fences in their search for food. Farmer John tried to scare the geese away with loud noises and threats, but nothing worked. The geese just kept coming back.

Finally, Farmer John had enough. He called a local animal control officer to help get rid of the geese. The officer captured them all and transported them to a wildlife refuge.

While Farmer John is glad to have his pond back, he's also sad to see the geese go.

"They weren't always so bad," said Farmer John. "But now I know that they can be a real nuisance. I just hope they don't come back next year."

Goose Droppings a Nuisance for Homeowners

It's the time of year when geese are out in full force and their droppings are creating a mess for homeowners.

The Schaumburg Park District is asking residents to help clean up the droppings that have been left behind on sidewalks, parks, golf courses and ponds.

" Goose droppings are more than just an eyesore. They can also be a health hazard," said park district spokeswoman Maureen King.

The acid in goose droppings can corrode metal, damage sidewalks and erode concrete. The droppings can also contain harmful bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella.

Homeowners are encouraged to clean up droppings as soon as they see them and to avoid walking in areas that are covered in them. Rubber gloves and a shovel can be helpful tools for cleaning up droppings.

In addition to picking up the poop, there are a few things homeowners can do to discourage geese from congregating in their neighborhood . One is to install deterrents such as fake coyotes or fences. Noise makers and repellents that use sound, visual or scent aversion can also be used.

Goose Attack at Local Park Leaves Victim Injured

A goose attack at a local park has left a young woman injured. The victim, who is in her early twenties, was walking through the park when she was suddenly set upon by a gang of geese.

According to eyewitnesses, the geese were cackling and hissing as they circled around the woman, before one of them finally lunged at her head. The victim sustained injuries to her face and neck in the attack, and was later treated in hospital.

Local officials have warned park users to be on their guard when walking through areas where there are geese, as these birds can often be territorial and aggressive. They advise keeping a safe distance from any geese you may encounter, and not to provoke them in any way.

If you are unfortunate enough to be attacked by a goose, it is important to know how to defend yourself. Try to stay calm and use your arms or a bag to protect your head and face. If you are carrying a golf club or other such object, use it to scare off the bird. Most importantly, do not run – this will only encourage the goose to chase after you.

Goose Goes on Rampage, Causing Havoc in Neighborhood

Residents of a small town in upstate New York were awakened early Wednesday morning by the sound of a goose honking wildly and running through the streets. The goose, which had been spotted in the area for several weeks, appeared to have gone on a rampage, smashing cars and houses with its wings and beak.

Animal control workers were called to the scene but were unable to catch the bird. "It was like something out of a horror movie," said one resident. "The goose was attacking anything in sight. We were all terrified."

The rampage lasted for several hours before the goose finally flew off into the night. Officials are unsure what caused the goose to go on such a rampage, but some believe that it may have been injured or sick. "We're just glad that no one was hurt," said one spokesperson.
