Bird strike(s)

Right, there are guys with dogs that given permission of the state will
harass the geese until they leave. Shooting at the geese doesn't do it.

That's how we got rid of the Canada Geese at one of our small airports
near here. You get permission from your state, which ours readily
gave, then you harass the hell out of them. You kill some, you bother
the rest. Took a couple of weeks and haven't seen them since.

Start shooting. They'll get the idea.

Years ago, Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA employed jeeps to disperse the
Canada geese.

That just chases away from places jeeps can go. If you want them totally
off the property, dogs.

The highest-flying bird ever recorded was a Ruppell's griffon, a
vulture with a wingspan of about 10 feet; on November 29, 1975, a
Ruppell's griffon was sucked into a jet engine 37,900 feet above the
Ivory Coast--more than a mile and a half higher than the summit of
Mount Everest. The plane was damaged, though it landed safely.

Border collies do the best job of this, once you convince them that that's what
they're supposed to do.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

It has been my experience (owner of 2 of 'em) that they need no convincing.
They try to heard stuff, by instinct, and since geese don't "like to be
herded," they fly away. g

Read this book years ago, kind of a Black Beauty for Border Collies.
