The Norwegian government wants to start puncturing the unhatched eggs of Canadian and grey geese to control the geese population. When eggs are pierced, no chicks can form — thereby reducing the goose population.

“The Canada Goose is a foreign species which does not fit in naturally with Norwegian fauna. We want a drastic reduction and will reduce the population by at least half,” an official from told Oslo’s Aftenposten newspaper.
