The goose step is a special march step performed in military parades.

Can you get in trouble if you hurt the geese eggs?
If your intention is to destroy the nest, yes you can get in trouble because Canadas are protected by the Migratory Bird Act. It is a felony. If you must remove the nest, you will need a permit and PLEASE bring the eggs to a wildlife rehabiltator (contact them first before approaching the nest) so he/she can raise them and release them into the wild.
But as a wildlife monitor for the past five years I urge you to let the eggs go full term. Do not move the mother or the father. Any type of aggression towards you by them will dissipate by the second week after the mother has sat down, and to ease tensions between you and a "nervous" goose dad, a peace offering of some corn, wheat bread or chopped fruit will make things much better.
In the community where I live, having a goose nest outside your business is considered good luck and the old wives tale is true. All the high grossing stores in our area have had nests at their doorways for the past three years.

What happens when goose eggs hatch?
Well, you may find a gosling, or an embryo; if you find a gosling, then it will most likely die soon. When birds hatch, they have a special tooth, but they also need strength. Breaking out of the egg on their own builds up strength. If you open the egg for it, then it will not have the strength it needs (unless you train it, but even that probably wouldn't work), so it will most likely die from not being able to support itself.
What is the gestation period of a goose called?
