1. Geese can fly 2500 km a day (1500 miles) if they fly together in a “V” formation. That’s 70% farther than they could alone. When the goose in the front grows tired, it moves to the back, and a new leader steps forward.
2. If a goose becomes injured during the flight, two others will accompany the injured goose down to the earth and remain with it until it has recovered or died.
3. To encourage the leader to keep going, geese honk as they fly.
4. Canada geese are monogamous. They are committed to producing offspring with the same mate during their lifetime.
5. A male is called a gander, and a female is called a goose. The gander will stay a few feet away from the nest and the goose to protect them from predators.
