Canada geese control problems in Lincoln
Canada geese were imported by wealthy individuals as ornaments in the 17th Century. They are now well-established in the wild, with an estimated UK population of 190,000.
Canada geese are monogamous and will normally pair for life depending on their breeding success. The female produces 5-6 eggs in a single brood between March and June. Nests are usually close to water, often on small islands in Lincoln. The geese will defend a small territory as well as the nest itself, but as they are a gregarious species they will tolerate other pairs nesting nearby and frequently nest in colonies. Canada geese normally remain close to the site where they hatched, and there may be a significant number of non-breeding adults in a flock.
Canada geese are a popular species with many members of the public in Lincoln who frequent town parks and other areas of water where geese are present. Many people enjoy watching and feeding them.
Despite the public’s positive attitude toward Canada geese, some people do see them as a nuisance. They are frequently linked to damage of agricultural land in Lincoln and their tendency to flock in large numbers and create a great deal of ‘mess’ can cause problems in towns and parks.
