Absolutely. Canada gets geese -we get Starlings (in winter) who poop all over everything! But everyone enjoys the beautiful flight of the starlings in their hundreds (known as a "murmuration") And when we consider the terrible mess and nuisance that humans create, on such a vast scale, who can wish to harm geese, starlings, or anything else, for pooping?
There are plenty of deterrents which are harmless. My local farmer uses a 'noise-machine-bird-scarer-thingy-bob' (well that's what I call it! lol) It sounds like a 12 bore shotgun letting off two shots, although it is pyrotechnic, it causes no harm or damage and doesn't shoot anything or hurt anything. It just makes the hundreds of Starlings take off and go away.
We like to call creatures "nuisances" for one reason or another but are blind to the nuisance we humans can often be.
