Herding Geese Harmlessly using a Green Laser, Watch for green dot on ground near geese.

Should airlines be equipped with laser beams to clear geese out of their paths? This video demonstrates a little known fact (actually discovered by the author quite by accident in Aug 2009) that geese are actually very cognizant of the presence of a laser beam. Look for a little green dot to the left or below the geese and notice how they respond to it. This does not work with many other species. For example, crows are not phased in the least by the presence of the laser beam or its dot.

This is so hilarious to me. Keep us updated if the neighbour does anything. Edit: OMG I just realized I'm 10 years too late what is wrong with me.

Lee, what model laser did you use for this video? I want one that will do this but there are so many to choose from so I want to buy the correct one.

[@julius923]

You forgot to including cutting the neighbor's internet so he doesn't see this video on youtube.

[@bluewidow9151]

What's the problem of his neighbor seeing this on KZbin

[@LeeSail]

Thanks. Your videos are much better!

[@slugtubes7836]

that's pretty neat, ill have to try it one day.

[@benedictlego6642]

When the birds get use to it do they really just ignore them?

[@cutedollcute9901]

So nice 💕

[@bluewidow9151]

Holy crap that thing is bright you can see it during day with sun out? That's awesome how much does that cost and what kind is it? I want to buy it for fishing there are always annoying geese everywhere where I fish

[@plssub]

I can sell to you

[@sirrat7164]

The red laser you can play with your pets with at the dollar store is only like $4 Works beautifully especially at night

[@LeeSail]

Really. They seem so wary of a green laser that you would think the airlines could somehow use that phenomenon.

[@LeeSail]

That's odd because I haven't noticed it affecting hardly any other birds except ducks are slightly sensitive to it. But I've shined it at blue jays, even right in their eyes from 10' away for example, and still absolutely no response.

[@ConwayTruckload]

@LeeSail I have the 350 mW hulk laser from dragon lasers. It has a thick bright beam that can even be seen in the daylight. If you search dragon lasers on KZbin you can see them herding black birds.

[@LeeSail]

Interesting. Don't know if some combination of green laser would work for the airlines though.

[@LeeSail]

I visited Dragon and I see they even have a 400 mw version . . . for over $1,000. But I paid close to that for mine about 8 years ago so I shouldn't complain.

[@DanielTseng100]

use a firecracker or a steel bb gun, the laser only scares them for a while and then they just keep looking at it without getting scared... if I had enough money, I would do an arduino targeting sistem, but I only have the RedBoard and a few components...

[@davidprince8461]

Shooting them with a bb gun would be illgal

[@LeeSail]

Good info. I still think the airlines should investigate this phenomenon more especially if, as you say, they are frightened by the beam itself.

[@LeeSail]

I guess that would be another method!

[@Skyoneder]

lol brings up PETA. cool trick tho.....ahahah move them over to the neighbours.....🤣🤣

[@davidetienne9404]

I put the laser right on them. They've learned fast to stay the hell away from our property.

[@jerkygutts8386]

Little Cigars 😂

[@johnlibs2941]

[@ConwayTruckload]

If you had a more powerful laser it would make them take flight as they would see the beam also. Mine works good with the black birds. I can make them fly around in circles for hours if I wanted to. LOL

[@danlaxton]

I use a bigger laser to herd geese professionally and it does not work in daylight, overcast it works, but barely. Nighttime, its instantaneous.

[@abdallamaina7184]

Why green n not any other colour pls

[@ConwayTruckload]

@@abdallamaina7184 because birds are not able to see those other colors

[@thecampbells3908]

Hit 'em with a heat ray... 🤣

[@dont4143]

Who cares what peta thniks do what you got to do to rid the problem geese!

[@davidetienne9404]

My thoughts exactly. I don't want to blind them, but I have briefly flashed the light into the alpha male's eyes. Those are the ones you have to scare. The rest of the flock will follow.

Does it really matter??? They are fertilizing the grass for you........

[@_P0tat07_]

MaryValley they’re pests... they’re very territorial. We’ve had geese knock golfers into the ponds. And while I do find that extremely hilarious, it’s also a problem that needs to be taken care of. Plus the poop from the bastards is full of harmful bacteria.

[@danlaxton]

They carry and transmit over 450 known pathogens.

[@cwatson42785]

@@danlaxton anyone who makes that kind of comment above has never lived on a lake and had their nice lawn covered in shit and diarrhea! I tell all these pro geese people to welcome them on their land..... See how long that lasts lol.

[@shaundraevans7559]

Geese are like parasites .

[@davidetienne9404]

They destroy the grass. And then when you try to put grass seed down to regrow the grass they damaged, they keep eating the seeds. Their shit doesn't go away until it is ground up in the mower. So yeah, it matters. Not all ponds or other bodies of water have houses around them. There are other places they can go where they won't be a nuisance.

[@revenueeeeeee]

Yeah pesky geese in their natural habitat before it was destroyed and made into your yard.They were there hundreds of years before you and your old saggy neighbors moved in and cut down the shoreline for lawnmowers.

[@usetheroad573]

Sorry, geese are not native to where I live. That being said, I'll do whatever I have to to get rid of them as long as it's legal. Go hug a tree.

[@michaelw3715]

Recent experiments suggest that introduced, non-migratory Canada geese (Branta canadensis) may be facilitating the spread of exotic grasses and decline of native plant species abundance on small islets in the Georgia Basin, British Columbia, which otherwise harbour outstanding examples of threatened maritime meadow ecosystems. They are also very aggressive and territorial preventing native species of waterfowl from being able to nest in their natural breeding ground. Water pollution from their feces poses a health concern for humans as well.You're an ignorant fuck. Please do the world a favor and go drink a gallon of bleach.

[@herbertspurrier5755]

Geese crap....then nesting and aggressive behavior and then you have molting for about a month...meanwhile hundreds of geese can't fly away and ravage yards feathers elsewhere..chase you..sit/shi! wherever they want. I notice how you said I'd rather have geese than YOUR grass.

[@shaundraevans7559]

Their poop carries pathogens they are not harmless little unicorn poops. Quit romantasizing these animals because you have a bias for them.

[@davidetienne9404]

Then let all of them stay on your property and cause damage. Ignorance goes both ways.

[@fredfrederickson]

I work in the park and we have dozens of geese on our fields and most of them are entirely covered in goose crap to the point the town doesn’t know what to do about it. The town even paid millions to remove a very old local man made pond because the problem was so bad in that area but I think it’s just made the problem worse in other areas around town. They had about 20 of us go out with leaf blowers and blow off the entire field a few times into GIANT mounds of crap weighing hundreds of pounds that we needed a mini excavator to scoop up and fill an entire dump truck load full of crap. We did this at the end of winter and now in spring the field is completely covered again and nobody wants to keep clearing the field that way because it is unsustainable work, disgusting, and unsafe blowing crap everywhere and it getting picked up by the air and breathed in by anyone on the nearby area. These are the fields that kids play sports on, and when I say covered I mean completely covered to the point where there are thousands of “cigars” spaced out inches apart across the whole massive field the size of 8 football fields. There was a football game and the teams were wearing white uniforms and by the end of the game they were entirely covered head to toe in goose crap staining their uniforms and completely caking up in their cleats and leaving a long trail of crap out the exit of the park and into the parking lot as it came off their cleats. They looked like they all just went mud wrestling except none of it was actually mud it was all crap 🤮 I don’t know how more people haven’t complained about this or made it an issue but we are the ones who have to deal with it while mowing and maintaining the parks so we see how bad it really is when most people don’t notice since they barely spend time in the park.
