WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (KCBS) -- The California Department of Fish and Game is considering a plan to reduce the Canada goose population in the Bay Area.
The waterfowl are a real problem in East Bay parks and lakes, where goose poop make for tricky navigating on lawns and sidewalks, according to Bob Landress, president of the California Waterfowl Association. Each bird can release as much as 1 to 3 pounds of waste a day, he said.
The state is reviewing a plan that would allow landowners to oil western Canada goose eggs to prevent them from hatching.
Landress does not support that approach. He said he would rather the state try to relocate the birds while they are still "flightless".
