Geese are everywhere! Neighborhoods, churches and even the Chick-fil-a parking lot. The experts say North Carolina has more residential geese flocking to the state and making this their home. Canada geese are federally protected which means you can’t touch them, scare them or shoot them. That’s where the Geese Police come in. They train border collies to stalk the geese instead of sheep. They’ll hop on a kayak to help the dogs get closer to the birds. Those dogs will then intimidate the geese without ever touching them and essentially scare them away from the property.
Soto says they will go to the area every day until the geese leave.
