I see no inaccuracies here.
0:32 Don't kill them at all !! Geese are extremely intelligent, social, friendly, lovable creatures. Nuisance? Lol, for me, more humans are nuisances than waterbirds will ever be. I love them to bits.
The money from hunting licenses does amazing things for the conservation of waterfowl!
@@Dan964917 That's kinda paradoxic
@@CS-zn4bu It seems so but it's true. A large portion of new lands put aside for habitat for geese and many other animals is paid for by hunters. It's a great system and you'll find that some of the people who are the most passionate about conservation are hunters!
OMG! The baby Canada geese are soooo cute! 🤩
Right 😻😻😻
These are my favorite animals goose
Extra fact - They're not as aggressive as they're made out to be.
So true! I walk by them all the time on the trail by my apartment, and they just walk away and look at me. I stood still for a while once and they got kind of close, but they were still aware. I didn’t walk by the ones laying down this morning though. They all started honking so I figured I’d just go around for safety reasons. They were probably nesting...
It depends on the individual. Yesterday I was eating lunch and some canada geese approached for some nuts and corn and took a nap next to me but I've seen some go around attacking other geese and ducks.
Take a walk near them on Princes Island Park in Calgary Alberta and get back to me on that. If they were pit bulls they would be put down.
Awww so cute
I have seen many of those birds before
awesome birds
They protect
They attack
But the most important, they honk.
Do a video about the polistes carnifex please!
I love the Canada geese. There was one local to me in England that had fishing line caught in it's wing (it's in one of my videos) but rescues couldn't help it as it's not a native bird.
And did you know there a cackling goose is kind of smaller than these. I found one, and he had a broken leg and we took him, and he kept hissing at
😢
When I was a small child I thought that the white on their heads was their eyes lmao
I could see this!! I did the same with orcas!!
Can you do a video on White tailed deer please?
Can you do a video on the wolffish
They aren't so bad when they aren't pooping everywhere and holding up traffic
Do a video about the mallard duck please?
Great suggestion! I'll get that on the list. Thanks so much!
I don't know if I'm deaf or something like that but I kinda heard him said "the oldest goose lived 80 years old". I'd even repeat that part over and over again but still hears the same.
That is what is being said. According to Animal Diversity Web, the longest lived captive Canada Goose was 80 years old. You can read it here: animaldiversity.org/accounts/Branta_canadensis/
I think you called it the wrong name, it’s a flapper cobra
Childish name. Geese are friendly, social, lovable and extremely intelligent creatures. They love to hiss, yeah, but I've never been bitten by one single Canada Goose. Geese rule!
I'd love to see a video on the house centipede.
This will not be an easy request for me. xD These things are my bane. I'll do my best. ;)
@@AnimalFactFiles I think they're fascinating. They're clean, harmless to humans, and they're great at getting rid of other pests in the home.
That'd be so cool! They get so much undue hate!
@@cocogeckocat1440 Animal Fact Files made one on the house centipede. It's a very good video.

@@Col28 Ah, thank you!
Actually humans are responsible for non-migrating canada geese more than we realize, and in ways we don't realize. Humans are not the only animals which have complex language. Canada geese are one of but many who are capable of complex language, and language plays a big part in teaching and learning about migration. The problem is that, just like with humans, language in canada geese is learned behaviour. Just like language in humans, there is a period of time when you begin learning language, and a time after which it becomes much more difficult to learn it. As babies we pick up language very naturally. We learn through observation. Sadly, there have been recorded cases where parents have isolated an unwanted child in a room, providing limited food and drink and and only enough care such that the child remains alive. When these kids are eventually found, they are often past the age where language acquisition is automatically learned, and it seems that no matter how much attention is given to them at that point, they will never acquire language normally. It is similar with canada geese. The mother goose begins talking to the goslings well before they hatch out, and the goslings begin responding before they even pip their eggs. Baby candada geese are not physically able to speak canada goose until they have begun to get their adult feathers in just before the fall migration, but that doesn't mean that they haven't been watching and learning. Once they do reach a mature enough level to make the proper sounds, they already know what means what. There is also a large component of the language which is visual, rather than vocal, and you will see young canadas using those words in a rudimentary way even before they start in with vocalizations. Problems arise however, when a goose is hatched and raised with no articulate adult bird around. Just like human children who are thus deprived, language will never be fully acquired. There was a time when canada goose poplulations were in severe decline, and some subspecies were actually in danger of becoming extinct, primarily due to over-hunting. Partly in order to help increase numbers, and partly to provide larger birds for hunters to kill, various game agencies in the United States and Canada started programmes where eggs were collected and placed in incubators, then hatched out, then kept until they were old enough to fend for themselves. These geese were never taught the language, and though they made plenty of noise (perhaps more than the wild hatched birds commonly make), they never learned the language. Since language is learned, and migratory patterns are also taught and learned, these geese never learned how to migrate, and neither did their offspring. These are the birds which we see on golf courses and in city parks in the summer, and they are also the birds which stick around in winter. The truly wild birds are still rather rare, and are being pushed out by ever increasing numbers by the domestically raised geese.
1,500 mi/day?!? That'd have them flying faster than 60 MPH non-stop for 24-hours. Not happening.
Canada geese regularly fly 40mph during their migration and can go even faster on good weather days. Here's a link to the National Geographic article that discusses them flying 1,500 miles in 24 hours: www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/do-canada-geese-still-fly-south-for-winter
Thanks for watching! 😸
I bring bread 🍞 for geese as respect ✊🏻 so beautiful geese I would have as a pet
They can’t eat that or it might just be baby geese and ducks
Its dangerous, you’re actually harming them.
bring some defrosted frozen sweet corn. they'll love you.......... never feed bread..
Never feed geese bread. It gives them “angel wing” which it prevents them from being able to fly.
One person got Salmonella from eating goose poop.
That would be a Darwin Award winner you are talking about, right?
Indiana has billions of them I live in apartment complex with a pond and these geese never stop fighting never stop pooping never stop having babies to make more geese to do the same thing they just fight all day fight all night we got 230 geese on a Honda 30 yards in circle and these keys are always fighting the water is brown because they poop in it all the time I use a laser pointer that you play with your pets to keep them away from the building but now they're laying eggs near the building so I can't do that I hate these birds with a passion
