That we should probably learn to live with geese poo. We have a problem with crows poo in the city where I live, but I’d take that one thousand times over not having any crows at all, or geese, for that matter.
Pigeons are a little different because they’re mostly city-wide pets as things stand right now, they don’t seem to fill any “needed” ecological niche, but I may be wrong on that.

- paganel 4y agoThat’s why I used quotes. Supposedly crows around these parts eat mice and even rats, which is good enough reason for me to define it as filling a “needed ecological niche”.

- paganel 4y agoGoes both ways. I do have a lady close to me that treats them as pets, meaning she feeds them regularly. Some small kids also play with them, more exactly running after them, the same way as they’d play with dogs, let’s say.
