Geese know when to lead, and when it’s time to step back. Through collaborative flight in a “V” formation, geese maintain a lower heart rate and reduced energy expenditure compared to going it alone. Geese share the tiring position as lead, rotating as necessary with no qualms. The “V” formation also allows geese to keep an eye out for each other to coordinate flight and open lines of communication to ensure a healthy flock. Goose is always sincere and thoughtful of others. If a member of the flock is injured, Goose will remain with the injured bird until healing or death occurs.
