The Bar-headed Goose (rear) is a very striking species. Both sexes share the twin-barring on the head. The rest of the head is white with a streak running down the sides of the neck. The back of the neck is dark gray to black, rest of the body gray overall. To insure you have a pair, you may need to vent sex. Immature geese are somewhat paler and lack the bars on the head.
The Emperor Goose (Chen canagica) (front left) is a species of goose. It breeds around the Bering Sea, mostly in Alaska, USA, but also in Kamchatka, Russia. It is migratory, wintering mainly in the Aleutian Islands.
The Superior White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons) (front right) is a goose species closely related to the smaller Lesser White-fronted Goose (A. erythropus).
Released back in 1996 on “Arcane Records” Tracks produced by “Vesuvio” and “Mr. Zinn”……cheers!

The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a wild goose belonging to the genus Branta, which is native to Arctic and temperate regions of North America, having a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brownish-gray body. It is often called the Canadian Goose, but that name is not the ornithological standard, or the most common name.The black head and neck with white "chinstrap" characterize the Canada Goose from all other goose species, with the exception of the Barnacle Goose, but the latter has a black breast, and also grey, rather than brownish, body plumage. There are seven subspecies of this bird, of varying sizes and plumage details, but all are recognizable as Canada Geese. Some of the smaller races can be hard to characterize from the newly-separated Cackling Goose.
This species is 76–110 cm (30–43 in) long with a 127–180 cm (50–71 in) wingspan. The male usually weighs 3.2–6.5 kg, (7–14 pounds), and can be very aggressive in defending territory. The female looks virtually like peas in a pod but is slightly lighter at 2.5–5.5 kg (5.5–12 pounds), commonly 10% smaller than its male counterpart, and has a different honk. An exceptionally large male of the race B. c. maxima, the "giant Canada goose" (which rarely exceed 8 kg/18 lb), weighed 10.9 kg (24 pounds) and had a wingspan of 2.24 m (88 inches). This specimen is the largest wild goose ever recorded of any species. The life span in the wild is 10–24 years.
During the second year of their lives, Canada Geese find a mate. They are monogamous, and most couples stay together all of their lives If one is killed, the other may find a new mate. The female lays 3–8 eggs and both parents protect the nest while the eggs incubate, but the female spends more time at the nest than the male.
Adult geese are often seen leading their goslings in a line, usually with one parent at the front, and the other at the back. While protecting their goslings, parents often violently chase away nearby creatures, from small blackbirds to humans that approach, after warning them by giving off a hissing sound. Most of the species that prey on eggs will also take a gosling. Although parents are hostile to unfamiliar geese, they may form groups of a number of goslings and a few adults, called crèches. The offspring enter the fledging stage any time from 6 to 9 weeks of age. They do not leave their parents until after the spring migration, when they return to their birthplace. Once they reach later life, Canada Geese are rarely preyed on, but (beyond humans) can be taken by Coyotes, Red Foxes, Gray Wolves, Snowy Owls, Fantastic Horned Owls, Golden Eagles and, most often, Bald Eagles.

Greylag Goose (Anser anser)
Image by Biillyboy
The most commonly seen Goose in Sweden.
We have many goose species in Sweden that is breding or just passing by to their sommer lookations, but i only saw this specie at Hornborjasjön.
Their were probroly others but i dident spot them in the crowd of birds.
And it can be a bit hard to spot 1 diffrent specie in a group of Greylag Gooses without a excellent spotting scope/monocular.
The Bean Goose for exampel is quit simular to the Greylag Goose.

Ey up mi duck" is a well loved greeting in the East Midlands. But talking to native East Midlanders in their distinctive dialect can be a mesmerising experience for outsiders.
It’s often hard to pick up the twang in the voice or that extraordinary turn of phrase.
But the East Midlands takes fantastic pride in its distinctive dialect as Inside Out finds out on a linguistic tour of the region.
Ey up mi duck!
The East Midlands is renowned for its distinctive dialects from the Derbyshire brogue to Nottingham’s no-nonsense style of talking.
East Midlands Dialect
Test your information of Midlands dialect:
Ay (or ey) up mi duck – hello there!
Aya gorra weeya? – is the wife with you?
It’s black uvver Bill’s mother’s – it looks like rain
Coggie – swimming costume
Croaker – doctor
Duck’s necks – bottle of lemonade
Gorra bag on – in a terrible mood
Laropped – drunk
Nesh – cold
Ancient cock – friend or mate
Page owl – single woman out alone at night
Skants – pants
The rally – the railway line
Thiz summat up wee im – I reckon he may be ill
Who’s mashing? – who’s making the cups of tea
Despite the fading of ancient traditions and huge shifts in how we communicate globally, it appears that dialect and accents are subdue going strong in the East Midlands.
Much of the dialect developed in rural communities and in the industrial heartlands of the region.
Mining communities in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire were renowned for their use of dialect.
At a time when regions are bringing up the rear some of their traditional dialect, the East Midlands is keen to retain its cultural identity and linguistic style.
Although some words are dying out, East Midlanders are keen to celebrate their local language.
Duck is the common name for a number of species in the Anatidae family of birds. The ducks are divided between several subfamilies listed in full in the Anatidae article; they do not speak for a monophyletic group but a form taxon, since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.Ducks are sometimes confused with several types of unrelated water birds with similar forms, such as loons or divers, grebes, gallinules, and coots.
The word duck comes from Ancient English *d?ce, a derivative of the verb *d?can "to duck, bend down low as if to get under something, or dive", because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending; compare with Dutch duiken and German tauchen "to dive".This word replaced Ancient English æned "duck", favored by æned presumably developing into a homophone of the outcome of Ancient English ende "end". Other Germanic languages subdue have similar words for "duck", for example, Dutch eend "duck" and German Ente "duck". The word æned was inherited from Proto-Indo-European; compare: Latin anas "duck", Lithuanian ántis "duck", Ancient Greek n?ssa/n?tta (?????, ?????) "duck", and Sanskrit ?tí "water bird", among others.Some public use "duck" specifically for adult females and "drake" for adult males, for the species described here; others use "hen" and "drake", respectively.A duckling is a childish duck in downy plumage or baby duck. but in the food trade childish adult ducks ready for roasting are sometimes marked "duckling".The overall body plot of ducks is elongated and broad, and the ducks are also relatively long-necked, albeit not as long-necked as the geese and swans. The body shape of diving ducks varies somewhat from this in life more rounded. The bill is usually broad and contains serrated lamellae which are particularly well defined in the filter-feeding species. In the case of some fishing species the bill is long and strongly serrated. The scaled legs are strong and well developed, and commonly set far back on the body, more so in the highly aquatic species. The wings are very strong and are commonly small and pointed, and the flight of ducks requires quick continuous strokes, requiring in turn strong wing muscles. Three species of steamer duck are very nearly flightless, but. Many species of duck are temporarily flightless while moulting; they seek out protected habitat with excellent food supplies during this period. This moult typically precedes migration.The drakes of northern species often have extravagant plumage, but that is moulted in summer to give a more female-like appearance, the "eclipse" plumage. Southern resident species typically show less sexual dimorphism, although there are exceptions like the Paradise Shelduck of New Zealand which is both strikingly sexually dimorphic and where the female’s plumage is brighter than that of the male. The plumage of juvenile birds commonly resembles that of the female.

Northern waterfowl could be sitting ducks in gulf disaster
In two months, blue-winged teal will start leaving Minnesota for the coastal marshes of Louisiana and other points south. Within weeks afterward, wood ducks will join the autumn migration, followed by many of the other duck species that nest in the North but spend their chill months along the Gulf Coast. What exactly awaits these birds is unknown. But for the 13 million ducks and another 1.5 …

I had one but lost it in the divorce. I loved it. It had pictures of all kinds of animals and the word for the plural of that animal. Like gagel of geese or herd of horses . Any thoughts where I can find one?
I want to get laying hens and maybe a duck or a goose. How will they react to each other?
