That's what we thought here. I recall when the Canada goose was on the
endangered list how "noble" was almost always a modifier. I also recall the
plaintive cries to save the bird.
Salvation was granted. Now, they are ubiquitous. And rapidly approaching the
state where a pest lobby is almost certain. I believe I was told the typical
Canada goose produces three pounds of goose poop per day. And when you see a
yard or field covered in them, you can just imagine how much sh*t is on the
ground. <g>
That said, I like 'em.
