How to deter canadian geese from playing fields

There’s no companies with trained border collies to chase them off in your area? They use them at a lot of airports in the northeast. CA Geese are tough birds. Go near their nest when they have eggs or goslings, and they’ll chase YOU away.

Grape flavored grass!? The geese might not like it but it sounds delicious to me…

Border collies are the best for big areas – golf courses in virginia use to good effect – plus you are giving a couple of dogs a good job..Geese cannons were used in the Hamptons, but man they piss off the neighbors..hee..

The rejexis product sounds expensive and weird. Why introduce one more human applied chemical to the world.
And of course, DON’T round them up and kill them..That was done in Prospect Park recently, 400 geese gassed by Fish and wildlife Dept. to keep them out of the flyway of the airports..big public outcry,and more geese moved in…
They are REALLY messy..Pond at my boarding school was ABSOLUTELY disgusting in the 30 foot poop-zone around its edges..Really unusable..But seems like there must be some good use for this processed product, also – what about carefully collecting it, every day, and selling it as fertilizer – good job for some homeless people?

Why can’t we develop a product that keeps animals away from railroads and roads to reduce roadkill? Something with paint, a smell – like rejexis, I geuss..Would rejexis keep Moose (meeces?) off the roads and train traks?

The grape extract has been researched and found reasonably effective for Canada geese. It is taste-based, not smell. There are other taste-based repellents, of course, but they must be matched to the species one wants to repel. What works for deer does not usually work for rabbits, etc.

As to roadkill, if we run a road or rail through natural wildlife corridors, we cannot expect the wildlife to accept our boundaries. Bear underpasses have been successful in many places…but animals like deer, geese, etc. would never use them.

Not an end…just an overview of what has been working and what has been researched as far as I know. These are issues I try to keep up with.
The rail in India that has killed so many elephants is criminal.
The new highway through the Serengeti will be another.

Airports use bird scarers consisting large birds of prey – they come round couple times during daylight and exercise their eagle owl, eagle or whatever. They should be in pages under pest control. Alternatively own and train own eagle. I always wanted an andean condor the only bird in the world to deliberately attack light aircraft. However i considered that going round with that on my shoulder id develop a list! As an alternative those aircraft resembling pteranodons seem fun.
