Description

The Goosinator is a bright orange, very noisy device that herds troublesome geese in Lethbridge, Alta., where the birds are staying longer as winter months get warmer. The CBC’s Allison Dempster looks at how different parts of the country are trying to manage that problem — and shares a classic story of one man’s encounter with this “gangster of nature.”
