Bird Control Services: Geese
Canada geese males and females look alike. Adults grow to be between 2 to 3 feet tall and between 10 and 12 pounds. They have a greyish-coloured body with a long black neck and head and their faces have white cheek patches.
Background: Canadian Geese
Canada Geese can be found throughout Ontario. They are typically migratory birds, however, some geese have adapted very well to southerly climates in several areas and these geese are commonly referred to as ‘’resident’’ geese. They nest and breed in and around residential, recreational/cottage, and commercial properties, and they have a rather large breeding capacity
Preferred Environments
Geese nest and breed in and around residential, recreational/cottage, and commercial properties, and they have a rather large breeding capacity. Areas of concern include farmlands, airports, urban parks, golf courses, schools, cemeteries and residential properties, especially those that offer a lot of open green space near wetlands.
Treatments & Solutions
Geese will protect their nests and goslings and can become highly aggressive towards humans or animals. They are also attracted to sensitive areas such as airports and can increase the risk of damage or danger and compromise air safety.
