I would be happy to see photos of these badass Seattle geese.

Geese are evil motherfuckers

The one in the lower photo is clearly plotting.

That's because you're thinking about roast goslings, you evil man.

dumb question.. oiling the eggs??

Does the oil prevent heat transfer?

Mackro Mackro, Sunday, 6 July 2008 17:00 (seventeen years ago)

or does the oil feel icky to the mother geese, and they abandon the nest?

Mackro Mackro, Sunday, 6 July 2008 17:01 (seventeen years ago)

my guess is it clogs the pores that allow the geese-fetuses to breathe

GRIT CHARACTERISTICS OF GEESE
Characteristics of grit in Canada goose gizzards

Kurt C. VerCauteren, Michael J. Lavelle, and Kirk J. Shively

Abstract
In many localities, Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have habituated to urban settings and their populations are increasing. Reproductive inhibitors contained in synthetic grit could play a role in integrated Canada goose management. We describe and quantify the physical characteristics of natural grit collected from the gizzards of Canada geese from 4 regions of the United States. The average grit sample had a weight of 14.26 g, a volume of 2.45 ml, a grit-particle count of 1,149, and a soil weight of 6.85 g. The average grit particle measured 2.02 mm long and 1.52 mm wide, and had an area of 2.05 mm² and a roundness rating of 1.25. Synthetic grit could be patterned after our findings to most likely be retained and utilized in the gizzards of Canada geese.
