The Nature Center has come up with a solution to encountering angry geese The goose stick brings a sense of security

The article discusses the behavior of white-throated gulls on Harankan island and the measures taken to ensure safe interaction between humans and these birds. It explains that gulls can become aggressive when defending their nests, especially during breeding season. To address this, the nature center has introduced 'gull sticks'—old fishing lines used as non-invasive tools to create a physical barrier between people and gulls. These sticks are meant to provide a sense of security without harming the birds. The article highlights the work of gull expert Inka Sääskilahti, who guides visitors on how to safely interact with gulls and emphasizes that their defensive behaviors are natural and necessary for protecting their nests. The piece concludes by noting that after the breeding season, gulls and their chicks move to more open areas, leading to calmer interactions between humans and gulls.
