Yes. Geese do have fleas.
According to United Wildlife Control, the closer you are to geese, the more chance you have of coming into contact with fleas, mites, ticks, lice, conenose bugs and other nibbling insects. Fleas live on the outside of their hosts’ bodies and need to feed on blood in order to produce eggs.
The Canada goose is one of the best known birds in North America. It is found in every contiguous U.S. state and Canadian province at one time of the year or another.
Canada geese are adaptable to many habitats and may thrive wherever grasses, grains, or berries are available. Because of changing weather, settlement, and farming patterns, many Canada (not "Canadian") geese have begun to alter their migrations. Typically, the birds summered in northern North America and flew south when cold weather arrived. This cycle endures, but some northern populations have shortened their flight to traditional wintering grounds in the southern U.S. and Mexico.
