Where I live, Canadian Geese were here all over the place, pooping everywhere. Then 2 year-round swans moved in, the geese disappeared and have not been back.

- rqtwteye 4y agoSwans are also mean. You don't want to mess with one.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoCanada geese, not Canadian.
- fargle 4y agoHow do we know the geese the OP speak of were not Canadian? Could be Canada Geese from Canada which would then properly be Canadian Canada Geese. Could be any other species of Goose from Canada which would still be Canadian Geese, but just not Canadian Canada Geese (or is that Canadian non-Canada Geese?). If you want to pedantically split hairs, why stop 1/2 way. We need a xkcd style venn diagram here.
- pridkett 4y agoThis is a great solution. But it’s a rough one for people to comprehend. I live in a small town with a lake and a popular local swimming beach. During the summer parking is $25/car. When the geese end up closing the beach due to their excrement raising harmful bacteria levels, the town loses that revenue. In addition, the park by the lake hosts after school programs and the amount of goose feces on the ground can become biblical in scale. Being an engineer and scientist I ran the numbers. The town could purchase a pair of swans for $1200 each weekend and come out ahead. Eventually a pair would stick around, right? I still find it amusing that a few people think the geese are pretty or that we should do things to attract them. Nope. Just very angry birds that are over populated and a health risk.
- JimtheCoder 4y agoCanadian Geese are notoriously insecure - everyone wants to take pictures of pretty swans, but no one wants to look at the crazy geese, standing in their own feces and hissing at each other. They can't handle the emotional trauma, so they leave... It's sad, really...
