It's a bit mean, but i believe that sealing the eggs (with olive oil or some other equivalent air-blocking grease) in a clutch without disturbing the nest does "work": the egg dies, the geese will continue to attempt to hatch them and miss a breeding window.
bother-the-geese-dogs seem less effective.
- voisin 4y agoI know one man whose property was overrun with Canadian geese. So for several seasons, he and his friend would go over the property and while one of them would use a rake and a garbage can lid for protection would push the geese away from their nests while the other would simply kick the eggs away from the nest. This was enough to reduce the population to just 1 or 2% of its original number over a few years.
