People living in Ottawa Hills, Ohio were rudely woken up by the honking and hissing of several hundred geese, early Sunday morning.

A 37 year old woman from Toledo is accused of releasing the flock of animals in her former boss’ yard.

Neighbors say they saw a truck back into the properties driveway about 4:00 a.m. That is when the noises reportedly began.

“We thought it was weird to hear the beeping sound of a truck backing up,” one of the neighbors reported. “But then we heard the birds. It sounded like we were at a metro park, but worse. They were angry.”

That’s when neighbors called the police. Unfortunately, the response time was slow, and it took more than 15 minutes to arrive on the site. Giving the geese plenty of time to infest the victims back yard.

According to police reports, the geese swarmed the yard. The family has a koi pond, and with the yard being fenced in. The geese must have found some security, because they refused to leave.

A police spokesman released a statement regarding the incident.

“The accused told us she had worked for the victim for about ten years. She claims that he is foul, and deserves fowl treatment.”
