Arrow "Addling" = Shaking...

Tis, the first Canada Geese I've seen this summer cruised by last Friday.

I counted (then re-counted) fifteen fully-grown goslings following their two parents.

In other jurisdictions, unwanted populations of waterfowl are reduced by "addling" their eggs. The nests are abandoned weeks later, rather than starting a new clutch too late in the nesting season.
