The Goose Army's Daily March

The Goose Army's Daily March

This farmer knows how to signal mealtime. With a clang of the wrench on the steel basin, he shouts something like, ‘It’s ready to eat!’ Then, with a swift move, he removes the gate. Here comes the army…

The leaders take the first step, followed by thousands of their comrades—it’s a full-on goose march. This is a gaggle. When geese waddle on the ground, they’re a gaggle; when they fly together, they’re called a flock. But for now, this gaggle has a mission: reach the feeding grounds, hundreds of meters away.

It’s quite the sight—almost like a group of kids on their way to daycare: noisy, a little clumsy, but somehow still organized. No rush, just steady waddling all the way there.
Now it's feeding time for thousands of hungry geese. Their meal? Hundreds of kilos of wheat and corn, plus clover and grasses to round out the diet. Feeding this army is no easy task, but the farmer’s got it down.
