Apparently Meredith is going to try the coyote decoy approach, moving them around often. We'll see, but I'm not hopeful.

International Politics
Being migratory animals the birds are pretty much protected until all nations agree that the birds are a PITA. It would not surprise me the southern neighbors sell the poops back to us fertilizer!

It didn't work for me. I only bought one coyote but it didn't bother them. They look at all these things at first and then could care.

I'll say it one more time. The only way to improve the situation is to reduce the number of geese. Scaring them from one property to the other and back again does absolutely nothing. Even the folks who love fuzzy little birds will be reaching their breaking points soon. These devilish creatures must be controlled in a humane fashion before things will improve.

We had 3 or 4 of them next to the small pond where I used to work. The decoys worked for a day or 2. After that the geese paid no attention to them.
