Geese are large water birds in the family Anatidae, which also includes ducks and swans. They are native to every continent except Antarctica. Geese are known for their distinctive honking calls, which are used for communication among flock members.

There are several species of geese, but the most common and well-known is the Canada goose. Other species include the snow goose, the white-fronted goose, and the Brant goose.

Geese are highly sociable birds and live in flocks, often pairing for life. They are also highly territorial and will aggressively defend their nesting sites and feeding areas.

Geese are herbivores, and their diet consists mainly of grasses, sedges, and aquatic plants. They are also known to occasionally eat insects and small fish.

Geese are important ecologically as they help to disperse seeds and control the growth of vegetation in wetlands. They are also hunted for their meat, feathers, and eggs.

In many cultures, geese hold symbolic significance. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of creation was depicted as a goose. In Celtic mythology, geese represent loyalty, fidelity, and vigilance. In the Western world, geese are often associated with winter and Christmas, and they are a popular feature in holiday decorations.
