 Greylag Goose Information
The Greylag Goose, Anser anser, is a bird with a wide range in the Old World, apparently breeding where suitable localities are to be found in many European countries, although it no longer breeds in southwestern Europe.
Thus the Greylag Goose is the grey goose, which in England when the name was given, was not strongly migratory but lagged behind the other wild goose species when they left for their northern breeding quarters.
Within science, the greylag goose is most notable as being the bird with which the ethologist Konrad Lorenz first did his major studying into the behavioural phenomenon of imprinting.

The Keyword Wiki taken a back seat to the disambiguation process for the last little while for what are surely obvious reasons: a lot of the terms in the wiki'd files, not necessarily the ones they were wiki'd for, are now inaccurate, or at least ambiguous.
We know you can't disambiguate all your files in one fell swoop, and files that haven't been disambiguated DO still show up in searches; the only thing that's different is that the search engine gives a slight "nudge" to files that have had disambiguation done.
