The honks were fairlysporadic at the onset of the interview.But as it continued, theybecame much more repetitive and intense.

The Internet was quick to weigh in on the gaggle and their motive.

Some felt it made the interview more... Canadian.

One userquestioned if the honks were from geese or not.

CBC News reached out to the Toronto Wildlife Centre and Birds Canada. Both groups identified the honks from the interview as those of Canada geese.

GregorBeck, a wildlife biologist with Birds Canada, said several of his colleagues had already watched the interviewand noted how the honks in the background were incessant.

"[Canada geese] can be pretty persistently vocal sometimes. Yet, other times when they are trying to keep a low profile, they can be very quiet...even secretive," Beck told CBC News in a written statement.

"Geese in urban settings do tend to be pretty vocal a lot of the time."

Some thought the noisy geese worked in Trudeau's favour...

...while others were not as convinced.

For some, the honks were just downright irritating. The dog of one Canadian Press reporter got a little agitated.

It's not the first time geese have become a part of theLiberal campaign.

It wasn't all about geese.

Mansbridge'sinterview withTrudeau was wide-ranging. They talked about whether the Prime Minister's Office has become too powerful (a trend Trudeau admittedstarted with his father) andhis stance on anti-terror bill C-51. Trudeau also said hisfirst move ifelected prime minister in Octoberwill be to meet with the premiers to talk climate change.

Some social media users questionedthe park setting of the interview. But there is reasoning behind it. The premise behind the interviews with the leaders is that they take place away from the campaign trail "in a venue of their choice."

That didn't stop some from making jokes about the set up.

And if you'rewondering, it appears birds aren't partisan.

One user pointed out that there were also bird noises (and a passing plane) in Conservative Leader Stephen Harper's interview, which aired on The National Monday.

Mansbridge'sinterviews withNDP LeaderTomMulcairandGreen Party Leader Elizabeth May will air Wednesday and Friday respectively. No hints yet as to whether birds will make appearances in those.
