An Edmonton restaurant says it won't mess with a Canada goose that has a nest near its patio.
The Boston Pizza in Manning Towne Centre in the city's northeast said staff first encountered the mother goose Friday as they were setting up the patio for a nice spring weekend.
"She looked on the other side of our patio ... and on the other side of the glass wall was a Canadian goose hissing at her and ruffling its feathers and just being really aggressive towards her.""We made the decision to keep our patio closed while she was nesting so that nobody would get hurt or interfere with the goose," he said.
Canada geese are protected by the federal Migratory Birds Act, which means it's illegal to disturb a nest once eggs have been laid.
