Reacting to the bird strike that resulted in the nearly disastrous ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January, government agencies announced new efforts on Thursday to control the region’s noisy, prolific and seemingly indefatigable Canada geese.

A focus of the plan is the removal of up to 2,000 of the birds for the first time from more than 40 city-owned parks and other facilities within five miles of the city’s airports.

The water landing of Flight 1549 “served as a catalyst to strengthen our efforts in removing geese from, and discouraging them from nesting on, city property near our runways,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said in a statement. The city, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the United States Department of Agriculture are implementing the new plan.

The effort also includes the installation of a bird radar trial program at Kennedy Airport, said Chris Ward, the executive director of the authority. He added that the authority would hire a second wildlife biologist to coordinate safety measures. The first phase of the plan will begin next week, during the goose molting season, when the birds shed old wing feathers and are less mobile, and continue until the end of July.
