Watch: Gaggle of geese run fowl on northern motorway
A gaggle of geese held up traffic on the northern motorway as they found themselves stuck on the road on Thursday afternoon.
The geese entered the motorway from a lake at the Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant. Feathers flew as the geese headed north, before they took the nearest exit – a berm near the Greville Rd off-ramp.
The geese were in a flap when they realised they were stuck between a concrete barrier and three lanes of Auckland’s busy holiday traffic.
While the geese appeared largely unruffled after the incident, motorists were said to have had goose bumps.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
