The Geese are leaving :(

A good flock of geese is a gone flock of geese.

PDX is overrun with Canadian geese, and in some places it is slippier than goose grease.

PDX's geese are assertive, aggressive, and beligerent.
They stand in the street and dare you to drive over them.

Maybe you could arrange for some of the Oregon birds to fly east
instead of over-wintering in the Willamette Valley.

'Canada Geese are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994 (MBCA). This Act arose from an international treaty -- the Migratory Birds Convention -- between Canada and the United States, signed in 1916'

Environment Canada is well aware of concerns raised by the geese population in this country. They go on to list in varying degrees, frustrations various groups have had with droppings, aggressive behavior at airports, golf courses and offer information on how to 'manage' your situation.

I doubt they knew in 1916, what a mess they were creating for future generations. I say have an open season.

I hate the fuckers too. Dare me to drive over one? Ok, I accept. I wouldn't flinch for one moment. Fucking shit-making, lake-polluting feathered menace. Go back to Canada, eh?

ps, Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese.
