The guy will never live it down by his squad.

We have lots of geese here. Every morning and evening they fly down the river honking. I’ve watched the gaggle grow from 18 a few years ago. They paraded a couple dozen brand new babies by a few days ago. They’ll have one or two guards at the front, a couple more in the middle and a couple at the end of the group. Last spring, they were so proud of the babies that they we honking and honking going past. Even the dogs stood in awe without barking.

Thanks for that. There’s a park with a lake near my house where my wife and I go walking. There is a large number of geese there and occasionally I’ll watch their antics. They are fascinating.

Hell, they're year round residents now here in Michigan.......

The damn things even stop traffic as they stroll across highways........

They now inhabit every lake, every pond in every subdivision and their numbers are growing.

The only possible solution is to destroy their nests and eggs during the spring since you can't shoot them in the suburban habitat in which they thrive.........

Did you appropriate duck culture, and name any of them Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Oack, Pack or Quack?

If you are talking Canadian geese which used to be
all but extinct but now are everywhere all year long then
I suspect it is still nesting time and the geese will
protect their eggs which aren’t always easily seen.

I use to have a small dog that was quite scrappy. One time I walked to the lake and there were a bunch of geese and a couple swans on the shore. This dog went and picked a fight with the geese and swans and they were having none of that. Dog starts yelping and hides behind me with an army of Goose and Swan shock troops chasing her. I pushed her away from me and said “you picked this fight dog, don’t bring me in to it.” We had to make a hasty retreat. She never went after geese again.
