Geese are celebrated for their grace and beauty, often enhancing natural landscapes as they glide over water or fly in formation. However, in urban and suburban settings, they can become problematic. Their droppings pose health risks and contaminate public spaces like water bodies and parks. Furthermore, they can display aggressive behavior to protect their nests, intimidating humans and pets.
