Since introducing the non-lethal measures, negative human-geese interaction complaints and damage to parklands have decreased, and water quality in parks has improved
Denver’s resident Canada geese could be saved from a summer culling this year thanks to several control strategies and the potential impact of the ongoing avian flu outbreak.of year-round residents of Denver’s parks, and after two years of not needing the culling, this year is “looking pretty good” for the geese as well.
“Looking into 2023, a lot of people are asking if we’re going to use ‘lethal control’ in 2023, and the answer to that is: ‘We don’t believe so’,” Vargas-Madrid said. Negative human-geese interaction complaints and damage to parklands have decreased, and water quality in parks has improved. That small increase in populations is due to Denver Parks and Recreation hazing more than 100,000 geese in 2022 and oiling about 1,300 eggs.
