Canada Goose - HD Mini-Documentary

The Canada goose, also known as the Canadian goose, is the most common waterfowl species in North America. It has a black head and neck with a white chin strap and is famous for its large migrations in the fall and spring throughout Canada and the United States. This goose is highly social and travels in flocks year-round. These creatures have a wingspan of 50 to 71 inches and weigh anywhere from 7 to 14 pounds. They live 10 to 24 years in the wild. Canada geese are herbivores and eat a variety of grasses on land and aquatic plants in the water. Males and females are similar in appearance with the female being slightly smaller in size. The geese are monogamous and most will spend their entire lives with one mate. They will lay three to eight eggs a year and the adults will violently defend their nests and their young. The population is thriving and has adapted well to humans, so much so that many humans consider them to be a pest because of their droppings, their loud honking, and their aggressive behavior towards people.
