>I love Foie Gras
>Canadian Geese are attracted to large grass areas where they can graze in the open. The also require a very large landing area, preferably near water, or a pond or lake. For safety, they will also remain in open space, away from woods or brush, where their natural predators may be hiding (it is an instinct). Therefore, there are very few places where Canadian Geese will naturally choose to gather. Maple Park used to be infested with Canadian Geese. Yet, you won’t find one there now, even though there is plenty of natural grass and water around the park. Why? Because their prefered safe grazing area (the middle of the field) is not edible. Very humane…very effective! Maybe we need a couple of more turf fields????
>i think the best thing is to kill all the dam geese.they are so bad for the area,and the dam sh/.,t all over the place.
>BOY YOU ARE ON THE SPOT NOW.KILL THEM ALL DAM DIRTY BIRDS.
>geese what a wast of a bird.they s.,t all over the place and some people like dum birds like this just shoot them and thats that.but no i,am a bird love o,ya go back to la.la.land
>well i think we can feed the poor.or sell them at a bake off.at the new maple park.to make some money to keep up that over priced field.sounds dam good.
>Which field? That overpriced field that you didnt have to pay for? Geese-free and full of children? That the one you’re talking about?
Might be smart to get down there and take another look. check out all the families enjoying the field, sharing the improved space, having fun, and getting some exercise.
How about taking a break from your lonely life in front of the computer? Waddle your fat, doubting ..ss down there. Still wont cost you a dime.
Little less pastries and bit more fresh air might help clear your head.
>how about a nice big geesesanwich.at just 4.50
>If the geese are from Canada why don’t they land on the ice….?
The Maple (Leaf) field is beautiful….I went down there the other night and tried to smoke the stuff…I fell into the brook and found myself in Fair Lawn over by Route 4 / 208. It’s better than sledding, I tell ya.
I hope that we can karpet the whole town…
