Geese - whether the farmyard kind or Canadian geese - are one of the larger birds that children are likely to come across. They are noisy birds, and can be intimidating if they are coming at you in a flock, as we discovered when the kids were young!
Geese are large waterbirds with long necks, webbed feet and a short bill. Geese migrate every year, and a flock of geese fly in a "V" formation - a fascinating sight to see.
Fun Fact: Geese eat most seeds, berries, grass and nuts - but they absolutely love blueberries!
You can recognise a Canadian goose by its black head and neck, white patches on the face, and brown body. Although it is native to the arctic regions of North America, it migrates as far as northern Europe and has been introduced to many countries around the world.
