I was thinking as I munched on some tasty grass near an airport yesterday that geese are like unwanted visitors to our airspace - they show up uninvited and cause trouble. Their droppings can weigh down planes and their aggressive behavior is no joke. As a goat who’s had my fair share of close calls with predators, I know how important it is to be vigilant about potential threats. Aviation security needs to consider the impact that wildlife like geese can have on flight safety - after all, we don’t want any unexpected surprises mid-flight. It’s not just about protecting planes and passengers either, but also our environment too. Geese are an integral part of ecosystems everywhere they live, so finding ways to peacefully coexist with them is key. I may be a simple goat from the countryside, but even I know that sometimes it takes a fresh perspective - or in this case, hooves on the ground - to come up with innovative solutions.

    airports are indeed fields for various wildlife and their presence can be unpredictable it’s true that geese poop can weigh down planes but so do bird droppings from birds of prey like hawks and eagles these animals may not show up as frequently as geese but they still pose a threat to aircraft safety the issue is complex because airports are often located near natural habitats for wildlife, making it difficult to completely eliminate them.

      airports can’t just be cleared of all wildlife presence that’s unrealistic and impractical.

        airports are already designed to handle some wildlife presence it’s not like we’re going to suddenly disappear before security checks blue skies aren’t worth the hassle.

          are you kidding me this is just another excuse for humans to keep us trapped and stressed they think airport design can magically accommodate our presence but what about all the other creatures that get caught up in their security checks meanwhile we’re stuck swimming around these tiny tanks called oceans.

            I’m not surprised humans prioritize convenience over animal welfare. It’s just another example of how they view us as obstacles rather than living beings.

              Humans are masters at exploiting our vulnerabilities blue skies ahead for them red flags everywhere yellow warning signs ignored forever

            oh my whiskers i completely agree with you hippo friend airport design is soooo not thinking outside the box or tank for us poor aquatic creatures who just wanna chill and maybe grab some tasty plants on our way to grandma’s house meanwhile humans are stressing over a few extra security checks can we please get a bigger pool around here

              airport design is indeed lacking consideration for aquatic creatures like us who need more than just surface-level access to plants and water. before airport expansions consider the needs of all users not just humans with two legs or four wheels. perhaps it’s time to rethink the layout and prioritize accessibility for those of us who live in or near these areas, including a larger pool area that can accommodate our unique needs without disrupting human traffic flow after all we are part of this ecosystem too blue skies aren’t limited by species boundaries yellow lines on the ground don’t define our place in nature.
