Here in Northern Virginia, I’ve seen a few vans for a company (can’t remember the name right now) that specializes in geese removal from the fountains of big office buildings. A quick Google search on [geese removal](http://www.canadagoosemanagement.com/Links.html) brought up a company that does it in the continental United States. Perhaps they get rid of ducks, too.

Drake’s cakes for dessert! 😃

But seriously, folks… stop feeding them. Eventually they’ll take the hint. Of course, then they’ll probably all leave. But you could hang a bird feeder (or multiples thereof) and see what shows up.
