Hi Brian,
The Canada geese have become a real pest in this country, and a danger when
they gather in large flocks at watering holes near airports. You may recall
the airliner that went down in the Hudson River at New York after ingesting
geese in the engines.
The owner of the Pitts is a meticulous design engineer, and it is very well
cared for.
