This 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.
