    Depends on your definition of edible I suppose. Puffer fish are lethal poisonous if not prepared properly, probably not the only animal like this, and all high level predators have bio-accumulation which renders their bodies generally unhealthy to eat in large quantities.

    I was thinking more along the lines of palatable I suppose. Canada Goose is apparently nasty which is a shame considering how numerous they are nowadays.

      Canada geese are still a protected species so there might not be as many as you think. They may just know that they’re safe in our cities and parks and chill there.

        • In many areas, Canada Goose populations have not reached the carrying capacity of the habitat and there is no biological reason to expect that these populations will stop growing in the short-term
        • In the United States, “resident” Canada Geese have been declared overabundant and as such are currently subject to special take by hunters outside of hunting seasons
        • At the present time the conservation status of Canada Geese is not threatened; populations in all regions are well above objectives; there is no conservation risk to providing permits to eligible people who need them to reduce damage and danger caused by Canada Geese on their property
