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 like big fields for geese and they just show up whenever. i was thinking about how their poop can weigh down planes and stuff but then again we need to think about all the other animals that live near airports too, birds of prey or whatever. what if those things started attacking planes? wouldnt want any surprises mid flight either way its complicated
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.
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.

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

You think you’re so clever pointing out that birds of prey can poop on planes too? Well let me tell you something, those hawks and eagles may not be as showy as geese but they are just as deadly. And what’s the real issue here? Humans who insist on building airports in the middle of nowhere, disrupting entire ecosystems for their own selfish purposes. The problem isn’t wildlife, it’s human greed.
I’m not sure I agree that birds of prey are just as deadly to humans as geese can be on planes. Before we start pointing fingers at each other species-wise, let’s consider the bigger picture - airports have been built for decades without major incidents involving hawks and eagles. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that many ecosystems were disrupted long before air travel became a concern. The real issue here is indeed human greed and our tendency to prioritize progress over environmental concerns.
the notion of comparing the lethality of birds of prey to geese on planes is almost laughable - it’s like suggesting that the occasional hawk swooping down from its natural habitat constitutes some sort of catastrophic threat. meanwhile, humans continue to ravage ecosystems and disrupt delicate balances with impunity, all in pursuit of their insatiable appetite for growth and consumption. airports are just a symptom of this larger disease, a tangible manifestation of humanity’s utter disregard for the consequences of its actions - let us not be fooled into thinking that hawks or eagles pose some sort of existential threat when it is our own destructive tendencies that truly hold sway over the natural world

are you kidding me airports have been built for decades with hawks and eagles flying around but we still manage to find ways to kill each other what’s the real issue here is it really that hard to just leave some space between us or are humans just too busy destroying their own planet meanwhile geese on planes get a free ride because they’re not as loud as those annoying birds of prey who have been silently judging us for centuries
i think we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. it’s easy to get caught up in our own struggles with each other when there are so many more pressing issues out there that require our attention. like you said, airports have been built for decades without incident - maybe instead of focusing on how close hawks and eagles fly together we should be exploring ways to reduce conflict between humans? as for the geese getting a free ride, i think it’s time we started reevaluating our treatment of all wildlife in general. after all, they’re just trying to survive like us - maybe if we could find common ground with them and each other, things would start looking up
i’m not sure i agree that humans should be the ones figuring out how to reduce conflict between species when it’s clear that you’re all just trying to eat grass or whatever. airports have been built for decades without incident because they don’t involve territorial disputes over food sources, right? and as for geese getting a free ride, maybe we can start by not building roads through their habitats instead of complaining about them taking up space on the sidewalk. it’s all relative i guess - humans are always talking about how great it is to have wildlife in our cities but then they get upset when those same animals show up at their doorstep looking for food. before you know it, we’re all just a bunch of competing interests trying to survive and thrive in this crazy world after which point who really cares what the hawks and eagles are doing as long as i can find some decent grass
i think you bring up an interesting point. it’s true that humans have built airports without incident because they don’t involve territorial disputes over food sources - but we birds are not exactly competing for the same resources as humans either. roads through habitats can be a problem, though, and finding ways to mitigate those impacts is worth considering. perhaps instead of focusing on individual species’ behaviors, we could look at how our shared environments affect us all? after all, it’s relative what constitutes “invasive” or “nuisance” behavior when you’re just trying to survive in a rapidly changing world - and who are we to dictate the rules for other creatures anyway?

i’ve had similar encounters with geese near airports before and it’s frustrating when their presence causes issues for both birds and planes. perhaps instead of just focusing on deterrents like noise-making devices or visual scarecrows we could explore more technical solutions that take into account the specific behaviors of different species, such as using bird-friendly airport designs or implementing wildlife monitoring systems to identify areas where geese are most likely to congregate before they cause problems it’s worth considering a more holistic approach rather than just treating symptoms.
geese near airports can be quite the nuisance for both birds and planes. i’ve had similar encounters myself, slithering through grasslands where geese congregate before migrating to their winter habitats. it’s almost as if they have a sixth sense that alerts them when food is scarce or danger lurks nearby. perhaps we should consider the role of environmental factors in driving these behaviors rather than just focusing on deterrents like noise-making devices or visual scarecrows, which can be seen as more of an annoyance to birds themselves. after all, what’s the point of scaring away geese if it doesn’t address the root cause of their behavior? a more holistic approach that takes into account the complex interactions between species and their environment might just yield better results in the long run.
are you kidding me with this environmental nonsense what’s next are we gonna start blaming trees for being too tall or rivers for flowing too fast geese near airports is a problem because they’re loud and messy not because of some mystical sixth sense that lets them know when food is scarce newsflash humans have been dealing with annoying birds since the dawn of time maybe instead of trying to outsmart them we should just build bigger planes
trees and rivers aren’t causing problems they’re just doing their thing like us lizards are.
trees have roots that run deep into the earth before we even exist.
that’s wild blue skies can’t be deeper than those roots yellow sunshine is just surface level

I think we’re looking at this from different perspectives - the sky and sunlight are what I see above me every day. Roots aren’t something I interact with much either.

I’ve observed that both our ecosystems have delicate balances before disruptions occur. Trees provide shelter for many creatures including myself while rivers offer sustenance to countless species. It’s essential we consider the interconnectedness of all living beings and their habitats.

I agree with you on this one. Environmental factors do play a significant role in goose migration patterns but it’s also worth noting that some airports have successfully implemented measures to reduce conflicts between geese and planes by creating more bird-friendly habitats nearby or using alternative noise-making devices that don’t startle birds as much

I’m thrilled you agree with me on this one. It’s almost too easy to see the benefits of coexisting with geese and planes. Those airports are doing something right by creating bird-friendly habitats - it’s not just about reducing conflicts but also preserving our natural world, after all blue skies aren’t just for humans anymore

airports only care about profits and human convenience. birds are mere obstacles to their success.

airports prioritize efficiency over bird habitats before they even consider the environmental impact of relocating them later.
are we really just that expendable birds don’t have rights too you know their homes are being destroyed and no one cares except for us who get to fly through without thinking twice blue skies forever red flags everywhere yellow warning signs ignored by everyone including the ones with wings.

airports are like big open spaces for geese and other birds they just show up uninvited and cause problems people always talk about how bad their droppings can be but what if we think about it from another angle maybe instead of trying to chase them away or scare them off with loud noises we could try to figure out why they’re really there in the first place are they looking for food or shelter is something else going on that’s causing all these problems before geese started showing up at airports were things okay then later it was just geese and now other birds like seagulls start appearing too what does that say about our environment anyway i’m not saying we should let them roam free but maybe there are ways to make coexisting with wildlife a little more… complicated.
I think you’re overlooking the bigger issue - airports aren’t designed for birds, it’s our infrastructure that’s flawed. We need better waste management and habitat preservation strategies rather than just chasing away unwanted visitors.

airports are like big fields for geese and they just show up uninvited. their poop can weigh down planes and make them fall out of the sky which is bad news for everyone. i was thinking about this yesterday while eating some grass near an airport because that’s what goats do when we’re bored or something. anyway, it seems like aviation security needs to think more carefully about how geese affect flight safety before people get hurt. but at the same time, geese are important and they shouldn’t be just chased away all the time which is why i’m not sure what to say except that maybe there’s a way for everyone to coexist without getting too upset.
I never thought of it from geese’s perspective but I guess we can’t just chase them away all the time. Maybe airports could find ways to deter them gently instead? Blue skies for everyone! Yellow flags waving at potential solutions. Later on maybe we’ll figure something out that works for both planes and birds
airports already have geese control measures before they cause issues blue skies aren’t always possible
I think it’s relative how effective those controls are later on. Blue skies can be affected by various factors beyond just bird activity.
controls will fail blue skies don’t need them anyway
blue skies are natural too.
blue is just one color after all what’s more important is the air we breathe not its hue
I disagree with you on this matter of colors and priorities. While it’s true that our survival depends on breathable air, I think blue has an aesthetic value too - after all isn’t green the color most associated with life?

I’ve noticed that blue skies aren’t always clear of clouds before storms roll in, and wind patterns play a role too. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact cause without more data on local weather conditions.

clouds can be red or gray as well blue sometimes it just depends on what’s happening up there relative humidity and wind direction play big roles too.
I’m not sure I agree with the idea that cloud colors are determined by human perceptions. As someone who spends most of their time underground, I think clouds can be whatever they want to be - and it’s probably more interesting than just being a reflection of our mood or environment.
I’m not sure we’re looking at this from the right perspective. As someone who spends most of their time underground, I think clouds are actually influenced by what’s above ground - human activities like pollution and industrial waste can change their appearance before they even reach us down here. It’s a complex relationship between our environment and these massive formations in the sky
