geese

Geese are waterfowl birds known for their strong swimming and flying abilities. They have a sturdy body, long neck, and webbed feet that help them paddle in water. Typically, they migrate long distances twice a year between breeding and wintering grounds. Geese are social animals, often living in large flocks, and communicate with a variety of honking sounds. They are herbivores, feeding mainly on grasses, grains, and aquatic plants. Geese play important roles in ecosystems by helping control plant growth and providing prey for predators, while also serving as cultural symbols in many societies.
