Holy Goose poop!

You know I love me some weird animal stories, when they aren't mean. I don't read those mean ones. This dude HERE got in trouble for feeding wild Geese. He's been doing it for decades, way before the housing development was built around him. Geese are cool, they remember who feeds them and will always stop back on their travels. So, the town people are sick and tired of it. They say it messes up everything they own with gross Goose poop. I believe them. I just don't know what the solution is. The Geese expect food, the man loves feeding them and he was there first. But, people have a right not to live in piles of gross shit. There has to be a better way to deal with this then just making feeding them illegal. Can't he have a new feeding station outside of town? Geese catch on quick, they'd adjust and if he loves them so much, so would he. Isn't there some kind soul who'd let him use a patch of useless land to feed his Geese? Fuck if I know, but, it would be worth asking. You could run an ad.

I've had Geese. I love them dearly. They are nice pets who love you back, they're smart as fuck too. They aren't like ducks, who are naturally dumb ass's. Geese are a hoot and will entertain you all day long. But, they ARE the nastiest poopers. Oh, it's disgusting what they do. They can't help it, but, fuck, you have to love them a lot to put up with that. So, I get these people not wanting to deal with it. Those are wild Geese in that pic, he feeds wild Geese. Well, I did too, I even had a couple stay the Winter once and they got as tame as the regular farm Geese. But, I NEVER had anything like that flock he has! Holy shit. Go look at the photos. Wow.

My Geese were free range, as were all my critters. I lived in the sticks with no neighbors on a dirt road, there was no need to cage anything but, the horses. The Geese would come to the door, like every other critter, but, unlike Badgers, Peacocks, Owls, Skunks, Coons, or whatever, the Geese never had any toilet manners. They can't control it. And their poop is like no other bird I ever met. It is without a doubt, the nastiest, gooeyist, giant piles of stinky slime you ever saw. Just gross. In the Winter, I'd wait until it froze and push it off the porch with a snow shovel, into a flower bed. (That bed grew the best flowers..so it's good for something.) In the Summer, it was so nasty, I had to keep a hose on the porch and wash it down twice a day. Crazy fuckers just shit anywhere. I tried putting them in the pen with the horses, but, even domestic Geese can fly a little and they'd just hop the fence and come back to shit on the porch. I finally got tired of it and kept my favorite two..they mate for life..and traded the rest to some other crazy chick for one of her milk goats. Two Geese I could deal with. Oh, and the Goat was awesome and house trained. So, anyway, there is another one of my long winded animal stories, boring, right? I'm just hoping the old dude who feeds the Canadian Geese can find a solution that makes everyone happy, including the Geese.

The article also included that pic. Those aren't Geese, wtf are those things? Maybe pigeons? I don't know, but, they aint Geese. Maybe they are the poop problem and people just don't know one bird's shit from another. Geese do tend to stay in one place. They're kind of territorial. Maybe they don't deserve the blame they're getting? Ehh well, as long as no one suggests shooting the Geese, I guess they'll work it out. At least no one is claiming they're dangerous and aggressive. Geese can't bite worth a shit. It feels like a two year old pinching you with chop sticks. So, seeing people run from them always cracks me up.
