I wouldn't be calling the police. I would be lookin at Dinner....

I'm kinda liking the guard geese idea, for the cost of a bit of fencing I can eat free eggs maybe ... or get a golden one perhaps. Plus it may keep the neighbor's dog off the lawn.


I like this sign

But I don't know if criminal dogs obey signs ...

Geese. It's what's for dinner.

Maybe someone was playing "Goose goose duck" and got a little loud

That story reminds me of another one. The wife and I were carpooling to work one morning and about 1/2 mile from the house she spotted a chicken on the side of the road. We figured it wouldn't last too long hanging around the CVS parking lot so we called animal control. The head guy of animal control came out and started trying to catch it. I noticed that when a chicken starts running, every guy in the area joins in the fun. We chased that poor thing all over the place. I finally had to leave for work but mostly because I was laughing too hard to be of any help. I never found out if they caught it or not.

Catch a chicken? .... just go to the other side of the road and wait for it to cross ....
but... (wait for it ...)
why would a chicken cross the road?

To prove to the armadillo that it could be done!

WINNER!

We have a small lake (actually large pond but called a lake) in our neighborhood and there are ducks walking and flying around quite often. Last year there were a couple of geese mingled in with the ducks. My daughter comes home (keep in mind that she is 40 years old) and gets out of her car and the geese started chasing her all over the neighborhood. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even get a video of it on my phone.

I didn't think they were in season right now.

...volunteers are accepted year-round...we're talkin' FOOD, here...

As the father of two soon to be teenage girls, this intrigues me alot. Anyone know where I can find a gaggle of particularly nasty ganders?

You can buy goslings and other baby birds online if there's no farms or farm supply stores nearby who sell hatchlings.
