Geese Destroyed New Sod At Downtown Amphitheater

It's not just all the new grass planted throughout this project, the geese are crapping all over the place, (seriously) and crews are constantly having to clean up after them. Just more extremely poor planning, one has to wonder if they'll be pulling another Ocean Pines move just before the big event? #savethegeese

They will have to place a net over it until the festival starts. And a sign for the geese too!

If they have to kill the geese it should be done in a manner so the meat can be used to feed people.

YES!! A sign. Like the ones on the roads that tell deer where to cross. They need a no pooping sign. Not just for the geese.

Use coyote are wolf decoys. They work great. They are a natural enemy of Geese. Where is the College educated environmentalist? I am an old senior citizen and I know that and it works. And you college graduates think all of us with common sense are not intelligent. Our intelligence comes from practical experience and not book learning which is more opinions then truth which makes you less intelligent than us old seniors.

Nice thought, but I wouldn't ever want to eat a local goose fed on crap from the city streets. Nasty.

I hope they shit EVERYWHERE.

I drive by there daily. It's awful. Some days it's so covered, you can't even walk through. Let alone sit on the poop covered grass.

why should they kill the geese over poor planning?

If you think you are so smart why don't you offer CONSTRUCTIVE ideas instead of being a NEGATIVE NANCY!?

i thought sometime back the city of Salisbury bought decoys to fend off the live geese. Guessing that was a bust.

Why did they put grass there anyways and not cement

It's what geese do. Put water and grass within a short walk of one another and voila, geese appear and crap wherever they go.

Josh, first of all I'm not "NANCY". Since you asked, start by forbidding the Salisbury Zoo, (very close by) to stop putting out HUNDREDS of pounds of duck chow into feeders on the river that will help stop the geese from staying here in Salisbury 24/7, 365 days a year. While I have been saying this for well over a decade, you were probably still in elementary school when I first suggested it.

Because you millennials refuse to listen, YOU have a massive goose problem and that's just the beginning. However, my hat is tipped to you for being man enough to use your name.

Just put up a sign "goose free zone". It works for guns right?

Because at this late in the game there is no "CONSTRUCTIVE ideas." That's the problem with you people! You are a bunch of morons! The geese problem should have been thought of years ago before even thinking of this festival. Get everything in place first then book! The only SURE and CERTAIN way to get rid of geese is to collect the eggs every spring and early summer! This should have been started 2 years ago and almost all the geese would be gone by now if not all.
You are exactly why the area is a s-house as so appropriately described by the late Mayor Shaffer! Homes and land should be at a premium but it's not being so close to the coast. The area should be bucolic and well paying jobs plentiful. But it is not. It's a stinky, smelly, eyesore of mostly ramshackled huts, factory farms and blight! This because you people and it goes back generations now are so backwards and unsophisticated that it is a joke.
So to answer your question! No solutions will help now so the only other thing to do is make fun of your sorry stupid primal ways!

I've seen wolf and fox sillouetts(sp?) used here around the Salisbury area before. The geese were right out there in the field with them.

They don't work, even when moved daily.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Salisbury mayor is an ignoramus and as are the council members. Watch them on the PAC channel for proof. Not one can strike anyone as having 2 working brain cells. Probably even combined not 2 working brain cells among them. They are all incredibly ignorant and are completely lacking in any thinking skill much less forward thinking skills.

OMG, I laughed out loud when I read this. They really did not expect this? Too funny!

Geese are never well behaved when you want them to be.

In other news, local chicken processor announced planned 'limited edition' Super Chicken product in honor of Folked Fest. Availability will vary Day by Day. /sarc

CLeMaster said...

Run a couple of big dogs around the area once a day. The geese will find somewhere else to go.

Don't kill the geese not there fault Fake Jake and the City of Salisbury are stupid planners, we knew that when he entered into this fiasco, everything he touches turns to shit. This is the worst place in all the city to have this, why did they not listen to Homeland Security would have been a lot of $ saved. And the worse is yet to come and not talking about the geese. The SPD, Sheriffs Office and State Police will turn into traffic cops, as well as dealing with the crime. And don't forget to get out the fire boat for dipping out dead bodies out of the nasty Wicomico. Count down is starting.

I will take hanging with geese before being around the crowd seen in that area. Thugs, fruits, thieves and the average rainbow painters.

Offer each attendee a free goose to take home with them.

UMES once got a border collie to run off the geese. Once he had done that though he started herding the students. That did not go well.
I say kill the geese and BBQ them to serve the Folkies. The money could go to maybe finish the sides walks that have now been tarred.

Set up one of those gas cannons to scare them off.

CleMaster has the best idea.

Dogs will chase away the geese.
Plenty of dogs around.
Ask everyone to walk their dog down there this week.

Oh, by the way, pick up after your dog !

Maybe if they hadn’t remove the railing along the Riverwalk this wouldn’t be a problem?

A couple of labs and golden retrievers would keep them off the amphitheater.

Leave the geese along. I stopped on Rt 50 East of town yesterday morning for a beautiful flock to cross. Not a problem.
