Here are more details about the Seattle Goose Program.
Seattle's Geese Need Your Help

Humane alternatives to the annual killing of geese will only succeed?
if the Puget Sound's dedicated animal lovers rally to the aid of these?
majestic birds, and that's where you come in. The program is simple,?
but we'll need all the help we can get to put this plan into action.?
Here's what goose lovers will be doing in selected parks this year:

- Locating goose nesting sites and communicating their location so?
eggs can be addled (treated with corn oil in order to keep them?
from hatching).

- Using light-emitting "laser" devices and trained dog teams to?
encourage geese to leave the most problematic areas.

- Monitoring goose numbers and the amount of goose-inflicted?
damage at each of the pilot parks.

- Cleaning up goose poop from the beaches and recreation areas?
used most by people; this will help reduce complaints about geese?
making parks and beaches unusable by the public.

Shifts are very flexible, and most work can take place at a time of?
your choosing. Detailed information about each new humane goose-
management project will be provided at the kick-off event.?
