Ready for some "Fowl Play" ?
As many of you are quite
aware, the Canadian goose population in the metropolitan areas of
Indianapolis have increased in number and nuisance. The problem stems
from migratory birds deciding to stay here instead of just passing
through. They choose our manicured ponds and properties because they
have no areas for their natural predators to hide. In a nutshell... They
feel quite safe.
Many expensive methods have been employed
to bring the situation to a level where these protected fowl can
co-habitant with their human neighbors. Some tactics have included
alligator decoys, "Goose be Gone" chemical applications and egg addling
by a licensed DNR representative. These procedures were, at best, a
short term fix.
Goose
Proof is a service that uses Border Collies to chase
away the birds. This method is effective, because the birds perceive
the dogs as a real threat. This is due to the fact that they work
silently, in a crouching position much like a natural predator. The
geese see the dogs and flee to a place where they feel more secure.
