Killer Geese Camped Outside my Building!
Well, they haven't actually killed anyone execpt probably for some crickets, but those beady-eyed devils are just waiting for someone to wander too close to them...

Is there a more absurd place for a pair of Canada geese to drop a nest than the cornice of the main entrance of an office building? OK, there's a nice shrub providing some cover, but the area is just too heavily trafficed! Why there?

1. Demon birds
My Father-in-law has geese. They are ornery vicious creatures. It takes a lot for me to hate any animal but I HATE geese.

2. You know what I REALLY hate about geese?
They're damn droppings can rival those of a small dog. What a mess!

However, I did see a mother goose and 5 or 6 goslings crossing the street one day a few years ago and stopped my car to block traffic so they could get across safely :) I felt like I was living my own little version of "Make Way for Ducklings" except with geese of course. :).

5. If you don't want them to come back, take their eggs
otherwise they'll just multiply until they're out of control and goose poop will be everywhere.
