	Geese
		All domestic geese are descendants of the Greylag goose (Anser anser), except for the Chinese domestic geese; those have evolved from the Swan goose (Anser cygnoides).
		Geese obtain most of their food by grazing grasses and sprouts of grain in spring or, later in the year, by picking up fallen grains.
		As in ancient mythology, geese are in modern shamanism still regarded as symbols of marriage, fidelety and the importance of a solid, happy home and family life.

	Canada Geese \| The Humane Society of the United States
		The geese raised in captivity and moved about by wildlife agencies were probably never strong migrants, and any tendency they may have had to migrate was affected by their captive propagation.
		Canada geese are attracted to short grasslands, which explains their affinity for the vast, feverishly tended lawns of suburbia.
		Geese tend to use the same nest site year after year, usually laying five or six eggs and incubating them for 28 days.

	DNR - Nuisance Geese
		Geese are herbivores and have a preference for grass shoots, aquatic vegetation, seed heads, and various grains.
		Geese also lose their fear of humans when fed, which can lead to abnormal behavior such as aggression towards humans, turning them into "nuisance animals." Communities must work to abolish feeding resident Canada geese.
		Geese are especially attracted to lawns that are heavily fertilized, watered, and mowed.

	Blue Geese
		Geese are closely related to Swans, but differ by having the neck shorter than the body, and the lores (the space between the eye and bill) feathered.
		Geese are strong flyers and are essentially gregarious, usually occurring in large to exceptionally large flocks.
		Geese cannot afford to migrate or winter on nine-tenths power and so the adults moult while the youngsters are still growing their first flight feathers.

	Making peace with geese
		Geese, in particular, find abundant habitat in urban green spaces and they appreciate the same amenities as humans - quick access to the waterfront and acre upon acre of manicured bluegrass.
		Geese thrive where water's edge meets an abundant supply of low grasses, so steps to install rock walls and increase the height of shoreline vegetation may create a permanent, effective barrier.
		Secondly, relocating juvenile geese to public lands gave the impression the birds were being "stocked" for hunting purposes rather than moved to establish new populations.

		Geese are, however, the most rapid growing, have the longest commercial life and are the hardiest of all domesticated poultry.
		Geese are kept mainly for meat production, so breeding stock are selected primarily on their expected genetic ability to produce quick-growing, early-maturing goslings with compact meaty bodies.
		Geese can be kept for breeding until they are 10 years of age, but ganders should be culled when they reach 6 years of age.

	geese
		Snow geese are ground nesters and their young are precocial, meaning they hatch with downy feather and are able to follow their parent within a few houre of hatching, The main function of downy feathers is insulation or heat conservation, Downy feathers are abundant under the feathers contour of adult geese.
		Most of the migrating white geese that are seen ovre southern Canada west of the province of Quebec are Lesser Snow Geese, although smaller white gees, Ross Geese, mingle with the prairie flocks.
		Migrating white geese seen in southern Quebec are more likely to be Greater Snow Geese, however, some Lesser Snow Geese travel over the province with the flocks of greater snow geese, they'll break their migratory flights at Cap Tourmente on the St. Lawrence River.

	WDFW -- Landscaping for Wildlife
		Populations of resident Canada geese have dramatically increased over the past 25 years, particularly in urban areas where there are few predators, prohibitions on hunting, and a dependable year-round supply of food and water.
		Geese often gain access to grazing areas by simply walking out onshore from the adjacent body of water on which they have landed.
		Canada geese are not considered to be a significant source of any infectious disease transmittable to humans or domestic animals, although their droppings are increasingly cited as a cause for concern in controlling water quality in municipal lakes and ponds.

	Of Geese and Men
		The numbers of Canada geese and deer near human communities in the Northeast are not ecological systems that need to be preserved against human intervention: they are the consequence of human intervention (as is virtually everything we call “wilderness” in North America today, and indeed, as were environments in pre-Columbian North America).
		For the person who regards the death of geese as a tragedy because of the intrinsic intelligence and sensitivity of geese, their death from a wolf would have to be just as tragic, and just as objectionable, as death by county supervisor.
		Failure to cull, in contrast, means that the pleasure that goose and deer watchers receive directly and aggressively diminishes the pleasure that those who seek natural environments free of goose feces and without the depredations of overly large herds of deer.

Migrating birds, especially waterfowl, follow broad but well defined migration routes called flyways or migration corridors.
		Snow Geese breed in the Arctic Tundra and winter in farmlands, lakes and coastal areas in the American south, southwest and east coast.
		Two Snow Geese feeding within a few feet of each other in November 2002 near Bombay Hook Delaware had yellow neck bands that were placed on the geese in 1999 in a colony on the southwestern part of Bylot Island, Northwest Territories (73.13N, 78.34W).

	RESIDENT CANADA GEESE POSE MANAGEMENT PROBLEM
		The resident geese problem, she points out, was actually an unexpected result of intentional attempts to help geese when populations were low.
		By the early 1900s, migratory Canada geese populations that breed in the Hudson Bay region of Canada and winter in the Chesapeake Bay area were in sharp decline due to over-hunting.
		Populations of migrating Canada geese are decreasing because of poor reproduction on their arctic breeding grounds and competition there from vast numbers of snow geese.
