Geese Characteristics.
Goose problems in urban and suburban areas are primarily caused by giant Canada geese, which are probably the most adaptable of all waterfowl. If left undisturbed, these geese will readily establish nesting territories on ponds in residential yards, golf courses, condominium complexes, city parks, or on farms. Most people will readily welcome a pair of geese on a pond. They can soon turn from pet to pest, however. A pair of geese can, in 5 to 7 years, easily become 50 to 100 birds that are fouling ponds and surrounding yards and damaging landscaping, gardens, and golf courses. Defense of nests or young by geese can result in injuries to people who come too close.

The once nearly extinct Canada goose population has proliferated over the last 30 years. Their growth has presented some unattractive landscape surroundings and health concerns to many residents and businesses. The numbers of goose-related complaints have increased in urban areas where virtually no hunting or predator pressure exists. Feces, property damage, and aggressive behavior from the geese are the most common problems reported by landowner’s.
