    Those aren’t just any geese, they’re Canada geese! Don’t tell me there’s another name change coming.

    They’re no longer Canada Geese –

    they’re Donald Ducks!

    Ohhhh Canada geese. I missed the significance. Derp.

    Especially silly of me because the damn things are a plague around here – multiplying like mad, crowding out other species, leaving their crap all over the parks.

    DONALD DUCKS

    That’s it.

    Given how obnoxious they are, this here Canuck would be happy to concede their name to Trump. Trump Geese — or, perhaps aptly inaccurately, and nonetheless spectacularly hilariously — Donald Ducks.

    HEREBY, I SAID.

    Given that the guy is very proud of “acing” a dementia test by being able to recognize a horse, and given that he’d boast about identifying the invading bewigged army as “birds”, it is totally correct to call them Donald Ducks.

    (PS, note to mod, I _hope_ I used the right ID data this time…. Sorry, if not!)

    Ophelia, you forgot ‘thank you for your attention to this matter.’ That’s what makes it official.

    Wouldn’t they be a geese air force?

    Everyone who knows anything about Canada knows those birds are where Canadians store their repressed rage… no guarantees about what will happen if the overgrown orange toddler “claims” them

    ¯\(ツ)/¯

    ibbica, there are a ton of Canadian geese! The Canadians must have a LOT of repressed rage!

    I used to call them Canadian Geese too, until I knew some Canadians. We have them here in Georgia, which is pretty far south for them. I ran across some in a grocery store parking lot the other day oddly enough. I actually think they’re fairly impressive creatures. :) Let’s not call them Donald Ducks, shall we? (lest we piss them off!) :P

    They are impressive but they’re also invasive. They out-compete native birds and they produce enormous quantities of shit. They really are bad news.

    Agreed. Though I did manage to get some incredible pictures from an enormous group of them that landed on Mormon Island (they show up in central Nebraska every spring). The pictures look like they are flying right across the moon.

    I still think we’d be better off without them, at least without the numbers we see.

    I think I’d much rather have wild animals than domesticated ones. Let’s keep the geese and stop bringing into existence factory farmed animals (comparing geese with chickens, say). The evolutionary success of domestic food animals is environmentally overwhelming, while the amount of human caused extinctions is disturbing to say the least.

    This is one of the problems with humans. That geese have become a ‘nuisance’ species is undoubtedly due to the imbalance humans have caused, not unlike other ‘nuisance’ species that interfered with domestic animal production that were hunted to near extinction.

    There’s a thought experiment that goes — you are on a raft that’s slowly sinking, and to maintain bouyancy you have to throw something overboard to stay afloat to make it to shore. So on that raft you have ten geese, yourself, and Trump. (Let’s assume for the sake of the experiment that whatever you throw overboard will drown, even though geese can both swim and fly) Now if throwing overboard a single goose will solve the problem of the raft slowly sinking, what would you do? I know what I’d do. :P
