Canada Geese Control
What Community that has a water feature and does not also have a Canada Geese problem. Ontario Power Generatio has come up with an idea that seems to be helping in their effort to control the population at their power plants.
As part of their Goose Control Program, Ontario power Generation has strategically positioned plastic wolf decoys, at various locations around a power plant, that has an unusually high number of geese that live on the grounds, in an effort to deter the most familiar and widespread goose in North America from settling around the well-traveled pathways. Under certain lighting conditions, the decoy wolves can appear quite real, as noted by staff who have been amused to find evidence of staff attempting to 'scare off' the plastic guardians with sticks and stones.
Goose Life Facts:
A typical Goose will live up to 24 years mating for life and returning to the same nesting and birth sites every year. The average nest size is up to 4 feet across built on land and usually close to water where they will lay 3 to 6 eggs with up to 12 possible.
Geese are a grazing bird and consume up to 4 lbs of grass per day and drop about 2 lbs of fecal mater daily. The adult birds moult for about 6 weeks every summer which renders them incapable of flight thus adding to the over all quantity of fecal matter in the area they nest.
