The Department of Homeland Security has enlisted the help of over 648,921 New York City pigeons to maintain close 'tabs' on Canadian Geese flying through the NYC area.
Initial reports that a flock of geese (possibly Canadian) brought down US Airways Flight #1549 led government officials to call an emergency meeting of PGN Local 405 officials to request support in infiltrating geese flocks in an effort to learn about further planned attacks.
Often referred to as "flying rats," PGN Union Chair Grey "Crappy" Pigeon was overheard saying that "finkin' out dos byds will be de bestest ting we culd du". A spokesperson for Free Flying Rights for Geese (FFRG) said that the move by Homeland Security is biased and based on unverified rumors. "There are multiple species of geese in the NYC area. To assume it was Canadian Geese is speculative and unfair."
FFRG is appealing to the US Department of Agriculture, who has conducted many studies on geese. You can learn more about Canadian Geese here: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ws/ca/living_with_wildlife/activity_sheets/student_activity_sheet_geese.pdf
