When I worked in Westmont, there were several little grassy areas in the parking lot - to get people to slow down, and to act as dividers. There was a goose who put a nest on one of them, two years in a row. That building hired a "geese police" firm to try to discourage the geese from nesting, but if they did start building a nest, everyone pretty much left them alone. One year the nest was on the side of the building closest to our office - a bunch of nurses keeping an eye on this goose on her nest. We got the management company to put a plastic cone in the parking space closest to the nest so people wouldn't park there. It was sweet to see the little ones toddling around the lot, heading for the retention pond with their parents.

Then our office moved out to Lisle and that building management hired a firm to aggressively keep the geese off the property. We missed them!
