In Grant Park and Lincoln Park on April 7 and 14, respectively, the Park District and the animal control group, Wild Goose Chase, will arm citizens with maps of the two parks and send them out in search of goose nests.

Those who attend the event will mark the nest locations on the map and certified animal experts will return and coat the eggs - which are about four times the size of a chicken egg - with food grade corn oil. Не какие-нибудь шарлатаны! Не какой-нибудь гадостью!

"That just prevents an exchange of gases through the egg shell," said Carla Wagner of Wild Goose Chase. "It clogs the pores and doesn't allow anything to develop inside. It's a simple process."

This is not the first attempt to control the goose population in Chicago-area parks. Last year the Park District sprayed Butler Field with a substance known as Flight Control Plus. The odorless, nontoxic substance causes geese to get sick to their stomachs after ingesting grass and crabapples covered in the spray.
