Hazing of Canada Geese is Unlikely to Reduce Nuisance Populations in Urban and Suburban Communities
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Growing populations of resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have caused increased nuisance problems in urban and suburban communities. Hazing, or persistent harassment, is often recommended as a nonlethal management strategy to alleviate these ...
