I’ll save your day :) In fact, these _are_ smart geese created by centuries of interaction with humans. Why do you think they prefer human-created environments given a choice?

My pet theory is that aliens will assume the geese are our gods given all the toil spent preparing food for them.

If they talk to the pigeons then we are in trouble.

Your day will brighten up again: it is both the geese _and_ the solution that are smart. From the article:

> Geese figure out each system's weakness and eventually have their way [...] To outsmart geese...

I missed that part but got the goose/not goose part.

This is going to turn into that engineer trying to keep squirrels off of his bird feeder. He progressively taught a squirrel to be more clever in the process.

To quote Harry Hill: “Remember, karate chop to the neck - if the geese ever invade again.”
