"If it was crazy cold and snowy, our colleagues did not go out to harass the geese," Ward says. "But that's probably when you should harass because the geese are most stressed. If you look at their behavior, they're going to areas just to rest and essentially wait out this terrible weather. So if you could harass them during those really tough times, they would probably have to leave the area because they wouldn't be able to find the resources they need to survive." As valiantly as they have diverted these birds' foraging for a given hour - I feel like the article ignores how much FOOD human cities have. Am I over-estimating the amount of garbage food strewn over Chicago and all large American cities? The article speculates (my words) "Isn't it impressive that Geese adapted to roost on top of Buildings? They oughta be building nests in the Swamps!" and all I can ask is: Is it easier for a Freezing Bird to get a Free Meal in Chicago or a Swamp?
