Canadagoose literally translates to Canada goose, and as a member of the North American wildlife, it is known as the most fierce "fighting nation" of North American birds.
In fact, the first time I heard Canada goose in China, it was because of a certain expensive down jacket brand, with the fire of down jacket brands, the fame of wild geese as Canada's national treasure is also rising.
And recently relatedIn response to the news of Canada geese infestation, the destruction of fields polluting beaches, and the large amount of droppings causing headaches for local residents, Canadian authorities have also enacted a management plan to curb the growing population of Canada geese.
In Canada, where the total population is only about 43 million, altogetherThere are nearly 4.5 million geese that look cute and stupid, but in fact they are in groups with super amazing combat effectiveness, and the big geese known as "sky rabbits" are rampaging in the city, as if to warn mankind: Don't come to mess with me!
Speaking of road rage, many people's first reaction will be to think of a group of thugs holding wooden sticks in their hands, all standing on the side of the road with a killer hairstyle.
In Ottawa, the capital of Canada, located in the northern part of North America, you can see groups of "road rages" everywhere in streets, parks, lakes and other placesAnd these "road rage" can beat up passers-by as long as they don't like it, and what is even more infuriating is that these "road rage" are not subject to the law
A young lady who was crossing the street on her bicycle did not give way to a row of oncoming "road rage", and the group of "road rage" thought that the lady was fighting for territory with them, and directly attacked the woman.
In the end, the unlucky lady fell off the bicycle and knocked out her teeth, burned her right eye socket, and even had a slight bone crack on her face, so she had to choose to be admitted to the hospital**.
And theseThe lawless "road rage" is Canada's national treasure wild animal Canada goose, these geese are found in the streets of various parks in the city, and from time to time they also visit human yards.
Therefore, as long as it is in an open area, people are likely to be actively attacked by Canada geese, especially when it comes to the breeding season of Canada geese every year, and the irascible Canada geese will attack almost anytime and anywhere.
Wild geese are almost everywhere in Canada, and they basically soak in the water every day to comb their feathers and go ashore to graze, and then pull green poop on the land, which greatly affects the appearance of the city.
Not only that, but the geese are particularly fond of fresh grass and farm-grown grains, and once they have their sights on a fresh, well-groomed lawn, they make their home there.
And their descendants will choose to make their home in the same placeIn this way, more and more Canada geese will gather on the lawn, and the droppings of these geese will naturally pollute the water source and damage the surrounding ecological environment.
These Canada geese are also quite powerful in attack, and they can easily slap passers-by down as long as they spread their wings.
A woman was walking on the sidewalk by a pond somewhere in Toronto, but she happened to bump into the goose, and before the woman could react, the goose ran towards the woman.
Similarly, a female classmate in a university in the United States was attacked by a goose, and although the girl ran away when she saw that the situation was not good, she was still thrown to the ground by the angry goose ......
The Canadian black goose, also known as the "Canada goose", is native to North AmericaIt belongs to the huge goose order birds, and its body length is 075-1.About 1 meter, the length of the wings can reach 13-1.Around 85 meters, males are around 12 pounds and females are around 10 pounds.
The color of the male and female of the Canada goose is basically the same, the shoulders and back of the body are grayish-brown, the wings are also grayish-brown, the tail is black and white, and the color of the chest feathers is slightly lighter, with a gradient of brown to white.
The Canada Goose is a social bird that likes to inhabit lakes, swamps or rivers with gentle currents, and it adapts quickly to city life, with manicured lawns and cleaned ponds, as well as a territoriality and a strong sense of territory.
Like other birds, Canada geese feed on a variety of aquatic plants, grasses and some cereals, and migrate to warmer areas of the south each winter as winter comes.
Canada geese begin courtship when they are about 2 years old, and once they are with the opposite sex they like, they will live together forever and will not be looking for a new mate unless their partner dies.
Every spring, the Canada geese that fly south for the winter will fly back to Canada one after anotherCanada geese lay eggs and hatch eggs in their nests, and once they enter the breeding season, they become extremely vigilant, and whoever tries to approach their nest will make a call to drive away uninvited guests.
In fact, the geese that can be seen everywhere in Canada were in danger of extinction at the beginning of the 20th century, and every year they migrate south to the United States for the winter, and then return to Canada in the spring.
Such a massive migration led to a plummeting population of Canada geese, which, combined with habitat loss and hunting activities, once nearly threatened extinction.
In the 21st century, due to the strengthening of people's environmental awareness, the habitat of Canada geese has also been protected to a certain extent, and Canada** has also enacted laws prohibiting the killing of Canada geese.
In this way, with the blessing of relevant laws and human intervention, the number of Canada geese began to gradually increase, and Canada's continental climate made the "sky rabbits" love it.
As the world's largest goose species, the "sky hare" has few natural predators, and the only natural enemy species is restricted by law and cannot be targeted at them.
Not only that, "Sky Hare".The maximum lifespan can reach 24 years, and in this way, the "sky rabbits", which are good at flying, swimming and diving, have grown rapidly to 4.5 million without natural predators and human restrictions.
The reason why they are named "sky rabbits" is that in addition to the fact that Canada geese are not afraid that humans will often "hang out" in parks and lakes, their food is also breathtaking.
Four Canada geese eat almost as much a day as a goat, so if they pass by or roost somewhere they do, they will eventually be ransacked.
They can not only eat but also pull, is a kind of fecal ability of the birds, according to the statistics of the relevant departments, a Canada goose has to defecate every 12 minutes or so on average, and each daily bowel movement is about 2 pounds.
The average rural family goose knows that the goose looks no less than the dog, once it is "remembered", it will inevitably chase people all over the yard, and will use its beak to peck people with wings to shoot people, ordinary domestic geese are so strong.
It is conceivable that as the largest goose species, the combat effectiveness of the wild Canada goose must not be underestimated, otherwise there will be no so-called "man-goose war" on the streets of Canada, so there are some parks in Canada that are directly occupied by the Canada goose.
In addition to the fear of being pecked by a goose,The accumulation of a large amount of goose droppings also seriously affects the public health environment, so once a Canadian park is occupied by Canada geese, basically no one will go to the park anymore because of the fear of harmful substances such as bacteria.
Flocks of Canada geese roam various public areas of the city, resulting in a large amount of Canada goose droppings accumulating and seriously affecting the local natural health environment.
As Canada geese are naturally fond of swimming, their droppings are naturally discharged into nearby ponds, so that the goose droppings not only pollute the natural waters, but also may enter the groundwater channels through other places.
Goose droppings contain a large number of bacteria, microorganisms, viruses and other harmful substances, and if these harmful substances enter the water in large quantities, they will inevitably pollute the water source and threaten people's health.
Not only that, with the increase in the number of Canada geese, the local ** has also received many complaints about injuries caused by Canada geese attacking people, and the public is full of complaints about Canada geese.
For this reason, the local government has made a professional knowledge popularization on how to prevent the attack of Canada geese on the official website, and the relevant departments have also realized that if the Canada goose is not effectively controlled, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the local ecological environment.
If you want to control the growth of these Canada geese, you must start with the breeding volume of Canada geese, for which the local ** can also be described as "full of tricks".
For example, in some areas, staff choose to replace the large goose eggs that are hatching with ordinary eggs that are not fertilized during the breeding season of Canada geese, so that the young cannot be successfully hatched.
And Vancouver** will issue a notice to the local public:If you find a nest of Canada geese, you can contact the local **, ** will organize professionals to deal with it.
There are also some areas where the ** department has begun to try to disturb Canada geese by mimicking the sounds of various beasts, so that they feel in danger and leave their current habitat.
However, at present, none of these methods seem to have a significant effect, so relevant researchers have also tracked and studied these Canada geese that have been manually disturbed.
ResearchersThese long-lived Canada geese are very intelligent, leaving their habitat for a short time when they are hunted, and then returning to their original habitat twice as fast as when they left, while the Canada geese are unmoved by human interference.
So far, the problem of Canada goose flooding has not been effectively solved, so netizens have also made suggestions, among which the most mentioned "practice" is "stewed goose in an iron pot", but based on Canada's population base of 4.5 million geese, it is estimated that they can't eat it all.
