It's Canada Goose season again.....

[poltr1]

At my office park, there are plenty of Canada geese around. Some of the males have been seen atop buildings. Now they're starting to pair up and nest.

I already know they're quite territorial. If I get too close to them, they'll hiss at me. I'd rather not be nibbled to death by geese. (But as far as I know, they're herbivores.)

Speaking of nibbling....would Canada geese make good eating? Or not?

Yep. Specially the fat lazy bastards around here that don't even bother to migrate.

Wild goose stuffed with herbs slow roasted over an open fire. Yum!! Believe me the wild ones are far less oily/greasy than tame geese or ducks, and taste so much better.

Now repeat after me... "I will not hunt geese and upset the game warden... I will not hunt geese and upset the game warden... I will not...let the game warden catch me.." ;)

Forgot to mention, they are only mostly herbivors, they will eat any bugs that are on their salads as well as small fish and frogs.

Depends upon the diet. Usually they're pretty good eating, particularly the wild ones that have been fattening up on corn fields up and down migration route.

They're not really herbivores -- if they nab a frog or bug or fish, they'll quite happily eat it.
