Sooooooo wildlife does create a problem and there is nobody picking up behind them.
Yes, we live daily with hundreds of Canadian Geese trying to use our yard as an area to hang out (possibly because we summer in Canada, lol). We live in a community called "Lagoon City" where every home backs on a lagoon. Canadian Geese love to climb out of the water with their friends and goslings and waddle around on the lawns. They are hugely messy and dirty.

Funny thing .. I thought our two dogs might be a problem here, especially the large goofy one. But instead, they are a treasured commodity, people beg me to put them outside to chase the geese. They even ask to borrow them for a couple of hours. Dogs are like royalty here!

In The Villages, we do have ducks and bunny rabbits pooping in our yard. We've called the Bunny Poop Patrol to report them but nothing happens. It's all nature, we love all animals, so to us, it's all good. And we don't care at all if someone's dog makes a brown spot on our front lawn by the street.

IMHO, people who live in The Villages should be busy counting their blessings, not looking for things to complain about.
