Talk about a unique profession! Andrew Koller (redditor u/CocaKoller) spent last summer as a professional bird scarer in the oil sands of Canada. He explained in a series of comments that the tailings ponds are toxic to wildlife, therefore frightening the geese away is the way to save their lives. They got used to cannons and scarecrows, so he leveraged his biology degree to get the job of shooing them away by any means necessary. This video contained NSFW language, as if the geese cared.
