Molting geese are unable to fly in July

image003-2

It is the molting season for Canada geese. Geese rejuvenate their flight feathers for their Fall migration beginning in mid-June throughout the month of July. Unlike other birds which will loose one feather at a time and still be able to fly, geese will loose all of their flight feathers (or molt) and not be able to fly during this stage. You will begin to see lots of feathers on your property when the molt is happening.

Ohio Geese Control has continued to do extensive harassment to keep the geese away before the molt happens. We do not work with our border collies during the molt, as the geese will be unable to fly off. Habitat modification efforts and fencing off areas will help reduce geese walking onto your property. If you are having issues, you can certainly call us and we will develop a custom plan for your property during this time.

Call us at 877-914-3373 for a free site demonstration, you will see a great decrease in the number of geese on site.
