Goslings are tasty snack to hawk and falcon.

Seriously? They built a nursery for these ruinous creatures?
They are a dreadful blight upon our city. What we need for them is recipes.

If they're up there they're not shitting in the parks, no?

It's not like they can fly down to the parks and shit everywhere.

Reading Adam's post carefully, "newly furnished as a goose nursery" might not imply that WGBH literally set this up as a goose nursery, but that the goose decided to use WGBH's green/garden roof as such on her own, and the phrasing was a mild attempt at humor.

The area does look kind of prepared, but I don't know that 'GBH set it up as a goose nursery. For that matter, I never realized geese laid eggs anywhere but on the ground.

Stay off of the WGBH roof until Mama Goose and the goslings are long gone.

Even though the hosts there are already full of shit, what's a few goose droppings?

Including one I saw over the weekend nesting on the angled stone wall along the south edge of Broad Canal in Kendall Square. I suppose that works unless the eggs roll down into the canal and float away.
Not an Intended Nursery

Just an comfy spot under a goose flightpath, apparently:
"10 feet of low-maintenance, low-water greenery along the third-floor rooftop on the South side of our Brighton facility. The benefits of this “green roof”: reduced rainwater runoff (the plants soak up the rain) and insulation (plantings keep the building warmer in winter, cooler in summer)."
