Introduction: Understanding Geese Behavior
Geese are fascinating birds that have been a part of human history for centuries. They are known for their large size, distinctive honking sound, and their ability to fly in a V-formation. Geese are found all over the world and are a common sight in parks, lakes, and other natural settings. While many birds are afraid of humans, geese seem to be quite comfortable around people. So why are geese not afraid of humans?
Geese and Humans: A Historical Relationship
Humans have had a long and complex relationship with geese. Geese have been domesticated for thousands of years for their meat, feathers, and eggs. In many cultures, geese are also associated with good luck and are used in religious ceremonies. In addition, geese have been used as guard animals to protect livestock from predators. The relationship between humans and geese has been so strong that many species of geese have become habituated to human presence. This means that they have become accustomed to people and no longer see them as a threat.
