Yes, that is a giant coyote you’re seeing when you pull into the Prince William County Government Center in Woodbridge. But don’t be alarmed.
It’s actually a cardboard cutout of a coyote propped up by a piece of plastic pipe sticking up from the ground.
In this coyote’s mouth is a plastic trash bag.
It’s enough to make anyone stand, stare and scratch their heads. But the coyote is there for a reason.
“It’s our eco-friendly way of keeping the geese away! The geese won’t come down because they think it’s a coyote holding a dead bird. We just put it up, and so far, so good!,” said Prince William County spokeswoman Nikki Brown.
This isn’t a new idea when it comes to repelling geese. At least one company has made it its business to manufacture animated cardboard cut-out dogs to chase away the aggressive birds.
According to E-How.com, some people have tried to erect a low fence around areas they don’t want geese walking into.
Others have used sirens, whistles, sprinklers, shell crackers fired from a shot gun. Of course, E-How states, check with your local law enforcement to see if that is allowed.
