Geese

Geese are large, heavy-water birds. Geese specialize in graze and life often on the land. Therefore they have strong, rather long legs, which are placed in the middle under the body. Because of this they can walk well. The word geese is also used for a female geeze. The male is called “ganzerik” ore “gent”. Geese have an medium neck and a powerful conical shaped beak. On the upper beak is al saw edge. Compared with the swan, geese are smaller and more compact.

Adult birds moult all flight feathers on the same time and therefore they can not fly for around 1 month. The moult periode is generally associated with the period when the young bird are in the nest. Other then by ducks, geese males and females have the similar plumage.
