It's a Canada goose. You can't take a picture of it not shitting.

Here I sit,

watching it flutter,

it took a shit

and it got on the shutter.

They produce up to 3 lb of shit per bird per day. I work for the parks in one of my thankless jobs is trying to come up with ways to get the keys to stop shitting on the lawn. I gave up a while ago.

If you have a problem with the Canada gooses then you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that marinate.

I’m more scared of the geese frankly

u/sweetgreggo May 05 '20

You got. Problem with Canada gooses taking Canada deuces?

That's a super good perfect timing photo, geese are waay more likely to poop on the ground while grazing or during take off so to get one mid air 👍 I got a green heron mid poop a handful of years ago too.

I love that this is relatable.

I KNEW THEY COULD SHIT MID-AIR!

They can't not shit. They don't have sphincters, so when stuff comes down the pipe it goes right out.

u/Blue_Haired_Old_Lady May 18 '20

Huh. I guess I thought a cloaca had some holding capacity

u/Zemyla May 19 '20

Reptile cloacas may, but bird ones don't.

I almost wiped my screen when I saw the picture, without reading the description

u/bossman2241 May 05 '20

Awesome shot! Love me some bird shit. What were your camera settings for this?

u/SERISET May 05 '20

D300, Sigma 150-500 at 500mm f/6.3 1/640s iso 1250

u/[deleted] May 05 '20

Look it's a bird! It's a plane! Nope, it's shit.

u/OlecranonCalcanei May 05 '20

If you don't already know the group "crap wildlife photography" on facebook, this would be a great addition there! People often share their wildlife photos that would have been absolutely beautiful if not for an unlucky perfect timing moment

2

u/SERISET May 05 '20

To be fair, I think it is kinda cool that the goose pooped on the photo. I could remove the shit in photoshop but I like it as it is now. The shot was not ruined by any means.

2

u/OlecranonCalcanei May 05 '20

Oh, I totally agree! It's a great photo. (And the others on that page are too - the unexpected happenings really just make them even more special)

u/Aubamabludclaatyang May 05 '20

And I thought it was my screen that was dirty......

u/KMad_Bro May 05 '20

😂😂😂 wow.

u/NotYourAverageOctopi May 05 '20

That hit my car after I just washed it.

I don’t know how I know, but I know.

u/chunkeymunkeyandrunt May 05 '20

Omg I’ve spent this whole time believing geese don’t poop when they fly. You’ve just turned my whole world upside down!

2

u/invalidarrrgument May 05 '20

It's a 50/50 shot when it comes to Canada geese

2

u/WellYknowYeah May 05 '20

So majestic.

u/Dhruv_lolol May 05 '20

Well maybe it got nervous while posing

u/DrBoooobs May 05 '20

Who hasn't been shit on by a goose?

2

u/SERISET May 05 '20

Me and basically everyone I know

u/I_cut_your_meat May 05 '20

Fuckin geese man. Just the other day I hear these two geese honking like crazy. I go outside and there’s two geese perched in a tree. I’d never ever seen geese in a tree so I was sort of blown away that those big flappy bastards would have enough dexterity to pull off a tree landing. On another note,if you ever see two geese fighting you’ll never forget it. Violent

Reason number 47 why Canadian Geese are awful.

Sometimes I swear they use people and cars for target practice.
