Several species of geese — including Canada geese, which can be found in Ohio — are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Ohio law, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The waterfowl commonly nest near ponds and are considered a nuisance species, destroying lawns and vegetation and fouling pond water with feces. Ohioans are urged not to feed geese, as they can become accustomed to humans, leading to attacks on humans and pets. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
