An increase in nuisance complaints about geese is causing homeowners, apartment complexes and schools to call the Department of Natural Resources in Indianapolis, Ind.
“On our way out to work in the morning, the big one came flying at us ... chasing us to our cars,” said Bonnie Bankhead.

The Indianapolis resident has called the Department of Natural Resources, her apartment and the mayor’s action line for help.
However, the DNR says the geese are not going anywhere because they are already nesting.
During this time, the male protects the female from predators or people just trying to walk by. The geese will hiss and try to protect its eggs.

“The problem is he is right there at our door. It does not matter where he is at because the last two days he has been monitoring the parking lot. I just want him gone,” said Bankhead.
If you have geese in your yard and they have not laid any eggs, DNR says you try to scare them off as long as you don’t harm the animal on the egg.
