There's a woman in the Seattle area who has a very successful business
contracting with several cities including Renton for sure and maybe Bellevue
and a few others for Canadian geese control. She has a couple of border
collies who's innate stalking behavior she's shaped to chase the geese off.
It's amazing to witness geese brazenly grazing less than 20 feet from a 120
lb.rottweiler catching a Frisbee, when her van pulls into the parking lot,
the geese recognize it and skeedaddle before she even lets her border collie
out. She "randomizes" her rounds so the geese don't get too complacent.

hey permies,

I may be working at a farm in southern michigan that has a goose
problem. Have any of you experience in managing the yields of the
geese...how to scare them away from the fields when crops are in and
inviting them in the fall. They are canadian geese (protected
species) so i cant use the yields of their bodies (feathers bones)
but their pest control and fertilization yields would be much
appreciated. Any ideas?

trevor
