In reply to your #Geese I offer a parade of #Ducks in #SouthAfrica : they are used as #PestControl eating #Snails feasting on the vineyard vines.
There is a short video halfway down the page & it is *not* a loop; there really *are* that many! š
Err: would help if I included the link! (*argh*)

@s_evansUP I hope that an incident like in that video is how I die
Being run over by 1000+ ducks ??
Each duck is not very heavy, maybe it would feel like one very long massage! š
@s_evansUP @fireh9lly in NL (especially areas near water, pretty much the whole country) they have a big problem with #geese menacing #cyclists, #walkers and getting in the road causing other traffic safety hazards to themselves and drivers. They also make quite a mess everywhere.
Most folk want the problem reduced but not anything unpleasant to happen to the birds so they often get rehomed to a "goose paradise" near the NL/DE border..
@s_evansUP @fireh9lly not from NL but other side of the North Sea in #East #Anglia #UK (#Suffolk to be precise).
wandering #geese are wild, some hybrids of escapees from local farms and native or migrant wild species.
I regularly see domesticated ones in farms and a few wild ones along river banks. Not as many roads/bike paths parallel to watercourses where I live/work & inland so encounter less geese than NL (they become more numerous in the coastal regions)
