The many large lakes around Madison, Wisconsin attract large numbers of geese. One response is depicted in the video above and described in a Wisconsin State Journal article:
The stalker is the “GoosInator,” a $2,800 DayGlo orange drone of foam, plywood and plastic sent out to make a lasting impression on the city parks’ goose population. “The goal is to make life uncomfortable for geese, who see it as a predator..."
I'm a 46 year-old child. I could chase those geese with that thing for hours on end. Laser pointers work well with ducks too. (not that I've ever done such a thing!)
