The Canada Goose

 The Canada Goose is a very territorial bird. It stands at 75 - 110 cm in length ( 30 - 43 in.). The wingspan is around 127 - 185 cm ( 50 - 73 in.). The bird weighs around on average 26.4 pounds.The majority of its body is brown with its neck being black and the majority of its face is black as well accompanied with some white. It usually finds its mate threw the females preference of the male and how he behaves. If she believes he can protect the two may enter courtship and proceed with their bonding. Mutually they dip their necks in the water repeatedly until they mate which is also usually in the water. The two will enter a monogamous relationship shortly after.

    Being migratory birds, the rely on their formation which is a "V" in the sky. This is done to reduce wind reduction and to keep everyone in formation. At a leisurely rate the birds include rest stops along their route and keep together the whole time.

    As previously stated these birds are very protective, so they come equipped with some defense. They will honk if they feel they are being attacked so they can call reinforcements. But these oversized birds don't only have defense. They hiss offensively, primarily towards other organisms if they feel threatened and expand their wings and sometimes nick the predator and/or hit him.

    The bird's diet consists grass, beans, corn, and domesticated seeds. While they are mostly herbivore, they do eat insects such as grasshoppers. And in greater news their extinction status is least concerning. They mainly reside in places that have bodies of water like lakes and rivers.

    Being these birds are territorial they will form gangs to steal nest sites and/or other goslings. Just a warning though do not get close to their feces, it is extremely toxic.
