The Canada goose has been avian enemy No. 1 since taking the blame for the engine failure that forced US Airways Flight 1549 to splash down in the Hudson on Jan. 15, 2009.
But our erstwhile feathered friends may finally be getting a reprieve.
Recently the city has lowered the cull to only a few hundred birds a year and doesn’t plan to kill any this year. Officials are opting instead for less lethal population control tactics, such as destroying nests.

No Foie gras???
Kill ALL of the heartless, mentally ill and greed-infected politicians instead——not sentient beings and beautiful wildlife that add beauty and love to this filthy world!
Of course because the Canadian geese are illegal immigrants!!
--Likely liberals to add.
Get rid of retard Kirstin Gillibrand first. She is the one who ramrodded legislation through that had USDA murder squads round up all the geese in federal preserves and gas them, all based on inaccurate JUNK science. She is an imbecile who has never come up with any useful legislation, a libtard shill not deserving a place in the Senate.
The folks at the airport shoot at these birds all day. Sometimes their mangled remains wash up on my beach here on the luxurious Flushing bay.
Destroying nests?? The birds will go renest and have babies. You ADDLE EGGS so the mother sits on them for a month and by the time they realize they won't hatch it is to late to renest. They may 'have a heart' but not a lot of brains. This likely will not accomplish a lot.
I saw a mother goose here in Vancouver, BC, renest 3 times and finally have her babies....she nested in a very public place frequented by lots of people so, even tho the city addled eggs and her eggs had a big red X on them to show they had been addled, vandals broke her eggs twice in two separate nests at a public pond....so she found a much better place and this goose couple finally showed up with their goslings. Please put the effort into addling and not destroying nests or eggs. and tell the public to leave marked eggs alone too!!
Have a heart for these geese? They poop everywhere and harass little children. I don't have much sympathy.
