Canada geese can be seen in increasing numbers throughout neighborhoods and industrial areas of cities, as well as on golf courses, in parks, or anywhere else with a body of water. The Cincinnati area is no exception to have Canada geese problems. Canada geese are also becoming less migratory, oftentimes staying year round in these particular areas, taking advantage of the easy living that an urban environment affords, such as food and warm shelter. They see no need to fly south for the winter when they have all that they need where they are.
Canada geese can be problematic for a variety of reasons, including aggressive nesting behavior, and the creation of unsanitary, unsightly, and dangerous waste and debris. Canada geese, especially males (gander), become aggressive in the springtime as they protect the nest and eggs. Females also tend to be more aggressive. Anyone who walks too closely to the nest is subject to a goose attack, which is not only frightening but can also result in bodily harm. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife (2010) has issued three guidelines to follow if a Canada goose attacks you: First, stand towards the goose and keep direct eye contact; second, back away from the goose gently and slowly if it becomes violent; and third, keep a neutral demeanor – do not act scared or violent. For more information on human safety issues of Canada geese, read “Canada Geese Damage Management: Human Safety Issues” at the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management.
Canada goose droppings are also a major cause of concern in neighborhoods, industrial parks, golf courses, other places in and around Cincinnati. Places with a decent population of geese know how unsightly and troublesome Canada geese droppings are on walkways and green spaces. It becomes difficult to walk around piles of waste, and it is a huge hassle to try and keep an area clean if a Canada goose population is present.
Goose Droppings on Sidewalk
Canada goose droppings aren’t just unsightly or inconvenient – Canada goose excrement harbors a variety of harmful pathogens including parasites (Crytosporidium Giardia. Toxoplasmosis.), bacteria (Campylobacter jejuni, Chlamydiosis, E-Coli, Listeria, Pasteurella multocida, Salmonella.), viruses (Avian Influenza. Encephalatic Viruses), and fungus (Histoplasmosis.)
