I live between a park with a pond and the Manchester Ship canal but recently (and last year) my area have had a flock of geese hanging around, (mainly on some common ground). I've got some photoes and video footage of them

But what I want to do is upload them onto the local council authority or RSPB website.
Does anybody else on here living in a built up area get flocks of geese hanging around where they live or know how i can do it?

They are usually friendly.
They will even sit on your lap if you have patience!

or make them look like members of a 1950s USA style gang of young hooligans like in (wait for it).....)GEESE!
i couldn't resist the joke but this is a genuine thread and I just want to upload the video footage onto a website like my local authority or the RSPB.
The said flock aren' bothering anybody else or the other birds and're just minding their own business and just hanging out on the field.

It might be the same flock as last year and I know that they're from one of two locations (Alexander Park In Manchester) and The Manchester Ship Canal. If you've got food like a sandwhich they come up to you but don't have senses of entitlement and become Karens like seagulls do.

Where I used to live in north London there were tons of them that used to live on a business park down the road.

I wouldn't have said they were particularly friendly though.

There were occasions where they would cross a main road, in single file and hold up the traffic for ages, although it was somewhat of a novelty I guess.
 
I worked at NPL Teddington, my office overlooked Bushy Park, it was a lovely place to work (geographically, the people less so) and there were a family of Egyptian Geese which used to hang around the car park. Every single day they were there without fail. When I first started working there they used to square up if I came too close but by the time I left the place after 11 months they used to come right up to me making that awesome little chattering sound that they do. Grew rather fond of them, they're one of the very few things I miss about that place. I hope my gooses are still well.

I hope you got them in a row!

Wish we got ducks on our lawn, haven't had roast duck for ages, and I'm sure the cats would very quickly oblige if they were silly enough to land here

Lots of geese around here, but we are 5 mins walk from a couple of lakes, not sure if they hang around anywhere else but I'll have a gander.

We also get large flocks of green parrots!
