[00:00:00]Ever wonder why goose families walk right across busy roads and don't fly away? It's because they can't. In May, June, and most of July, goslings can't fly yet and the parents often can't either because they're molting. So, the entire family is grounded. That means everywhere they go, they have to walk and that's why you see those long lines of geese crossing traffic even when it seems dangerous. They're not being stubborn. They don't have another option. Share this video with anyone you think would find this information helpful. Visit our channel for monthly videos on humane and effective Canada goose management.
