Or other meats. Geese also are monogamous animals when it comes to breeding. This means that they only have one mating partner at a time, sometimes even for their entire lifetime. Geese will often migrate together with their mates during season changes and raise their baby goslings alongside one another.

Their colloquial names have not changed, causing some of the confusion between true geese and these more duck-like birds that were formerly considered to be geese.

So, more geese will stay more persistently where people offer handouts.Radio-controlled boats harass geese on water. Geese must be effectively harassed on land as well, or they will simply get off the water. Boats are less effective than dogs who swim after the geese or are taken to the geese in a boat.Recordings of Canada goose distress calls may help convince geese that a site is unsafe when used to reinforce other harassment. Otherwise, geese may move only short distances.Canine effigies (coyote, wolf, or dog cutouts or 3D models) may reinforce wariness where geese have reason to fear working goose-dogs or wild canines. Frequently relocating effigies helps.Lasers used under low light conditions or at night, lasers specifically designed to harass geese cause the birds enough alarm that they usually leave the site. Flashing or rotating strobe lights may achieve the same goal of denying geese their night roost. You need to be persistent, so geese do not simply wait you out.Methyl anthranilate repellent dispersed as a fog irritates geese, so they leave the area immediately. Since this physically irritates geese, rather than frightening them, they are less likely to habituate.
