TREVISO – New houses for the nesting and protection of the 17 geese that live on the Paradise Peninsula, at the foot of the Walls of Treviso. The new wooden beds, which can accommodate up to two nests each, were installed today to protect the geese’s eggs from the corvids present in the area, especially gray crows and magpies, which feed on their eggs. The hatching period runs from early March to June. The eggs usually laid are from 12 to 20 units and the incubation time is 30 days. This measure was implemented by the Pet Animal Affairs Office in collaboration with the Animal Protection Unit of the Local Police.
“With this new installation we want to protect the animals, mainly Romagnola geese, which live on the Paradise Peninsula and are in all respects part of our city context to ensure that their eggs are not attacked by crows and magpies”, underlines the deputy mayor and councilor for the environment Alessandro Manera.
