Being run over by 1000+ ducks ??

Each duck is not very heavy, maybe it would feel like one very long massage! 😄

@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..

Thank you for this! (I read through some of the articles.)

From what I understand, #ducks are also messy, but #geese are larger, more aggressive, and downright intimidating!

Are you from the Netherlands? Where do all the geese come from? Are they wild, or wandering from local farms?

@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)

@s_evansUP the image was just a cute image of a puppy playing fetch. It should have loaded for you. Here's the link again (maybe the privacy was messed up).
