The dog spins when the wind blows,,its supposed to keep Bruce from Canadas geese away,,,,,,Bruce from Canadas geese are right behind the dog

Whew, glad I'm not getting blamed for the gooses. Maybe a motion sensor tied to a dog barking tape would help. :^) Those suckers are pretty crafty, unless there is an actual dog or person, they will figure it out right quick.

Larry,

Do you remember when the first TWO showed up at the pond... and I warned ya that you'd end up with this?

These pics are of geese in Rochester, MN (I used to live there in a life of long ago and far away).

A whole darn "herd" of 'em... supposedly begat by a pair of Canadian Honkers that were "gifted" to the city. Nice gift, huh? In more recent years, the city has taken steps to discourage them from inhabiting Silver Lake Park... which the locals long referred to as Goose Poo p Park (for obvious reasons).

Well, here's my second and final warning: DO NOT put a tank-heater in the pond... OR you'll end up with this in winter! LOL

I believe it is the city's power plant that discharges warm water into the little lake and it keeps it from freezing over. So these darn critters never leave.

Donald in MN · Sep 9, 2016

their still there but i guess the power plants last generator is about worn out and the city isnt going to replace it so the lake might go back to freezing in the winter. rochester use to have a goose festival but ive never went . i dont go to there if i dont have to its not the same as when i was younger

I used to work for a WW2 veteran, I would take him to the VA clinic
and wait while he saw the Doc.
I was sitting waiting for him one time and an elderly fella sat down
next to me and says "Wanna know how to get rid of geese?"
And then tells me to get grape Kool-Aid and mix it without the sugar
and spray it around where you don't want the geese to go.
He said geese can't eat grapes so they avoid the area.
Anybody ever heard of this?
Larry, you might give it a try and let us know.
Good luck

Looks like you are due for the SSS solution!
If you wait for the annual molt next spring, an axe and a chopping block could be substituted for shooting. Be quieter and no buckshot in the meat. Make sure you do not tell your wife, but have an empty freezer ready!

Do you remember when the first TWO showed up at the pond. Yes I do and now the flock owns the pond. :twisted: I had the water tested because I use it to irrigate my garden with they said don't go swimming in it, its loaded with chit. The bad My pump is in the bottom of the pond if it gives trouble I will have to get shoulder deep to fetch it.

SSS don't work they come back...

Donald mn,

Right. I moved there to be a live-in nanny for a physician's family right after high school. Now days, in many areas, I'd be afraid to walk down the street alone. It's not the same at all.

You need a real border collie, they totally hate geese for some reason.
