Changes in Echo Park have inadvertently created an ideal habitat for aggressive Canadian geese.
Echo Park Lake, nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, has recently found itself in the midst of a challenge of the feathered variety.
The park has undergone significant transformations over the years, from the removal of a large homeless encampment in 2021 to recent renovations that have fenced in construction sites. Biologist Travis Longcore, president of the Los Angeles Audubon Society, said these changes have inadvertently created an ideal habitat for Canadian geese. Complaints have poured in from concerned park visitors who feel that the park has become overrun by the geese. Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.
Some have reported instances of nuisance behavior and occasional aggression. According to Longcore, this behavior is not surprising, as geese are known to be protective of their territory. "No one should ever underestimate how fast a goose can run or how defensive they'll be if you are threatening their space," he warned.
But while some parkgoers have expressed concerns, others seem to have a more relaxed attitude toward sharing their space with these feathered residents.Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
