Flap flap, geese flying low!
True geese are medium to large birds, always (with the exception of
the Nēnē) associated to a greater or lesser extent with water. Most
species in Europe, Asia, and North America are strongly migratory as
wild birds, breeding in the far north and wintering much farther south.
However, escapes and introductions have led to resident feral
populations of several species.
Geese have been domesticated for thousands of years. In the West,
farmyard geese are descended from the Greylag, but in Asia the Swan
Goose has been farmed for at least as long.
All geese eat a vegetarian diet, and can become pests when flocks feed
on arable crops or inhabit ponds or grassy areas in urban environments.
They also take invertebrates if the opportunity presents itself;
domestic geese will try out most novel food items for edibility.
Geese usually mate for life, though a small number will "divorce" and
remate. They tend to lay a smaller number of eggs than ducks but both
parents protect the nest and young, which usually results in a higher
survival rate for the young geese.
Watch the ball.....
Your holding up time!
