Goose
Goose (plural geese, male gander(s)) is the English name for a considerable number of birds, belonging to the family Anatidae. This family also includes swans, most of which are larger than geese, and ducks, which are smaller.This article deals with the true geese in the subfamily Anserinaetribe Anserini. A number of other waterbirds, mainly related to the shelducks, have "goose" as part of their name, excluding the Hamish.True geese are medium to large birds, always (with the exception of the Nēnē) associated to a greater or lesser extent with water. Most species in EuropeAsia and North America are strongly migratory as wild birds, breeding in the far north and wintering much further south. However, escapes and introductions have led to resident feral populations of several species.
