Let's show how creative you are:- Drawing - Goose

Good day everyone in this community, I'm excited to participate in this contest organized by @benton3 . I'm going to start by showing how I draw the goose from the trash to the full.

Yes I have seen goose so many times in my area, and also in the neighborhood community.

Now let's dive into the characteristics of goose which I have seen in them around my environment;

Goose normally have long necks, stout bodies and webbed feet which help them get adapted to swimming. They are often gray, white, or black in colour depending on the species.

Many of their species are migratory, traveling great distances in a "V" formation to conserve energy and improve aerodynamics.

They are also herbivorous, feeding on grass, aquatic plants, and grains. They may also graze on farmland.

Goose are known for their strong pair bonding, often mating for life, and for being highly protective of their young (goslings).

Goose are also considered intelligent birds with good memory they have the ability to recognize humans who feed or threaten them.

Now let's dive into what makes them unique.

The V-Formation of Flying makes goose unique in their own way, this flying strategy help them reduces air resistance for the flock and allows them to communicate and maintain group cohesion during long migrations.

Loyalty: Their lifelong mating and strong bonds set them apart from many other bird species.

Territorial Nature: Geese can be highly aggressive, especially when defending their nests, which makes them effective natural guards in some contexts.

Finally let's go into how we have the phrase Wild Goose Chase

According to the research, the phrase "wild goose chase" was originated in the 16th century, It was referred to a type of horse race where riders had to follow the leader's unpredictable course, much like the erratic flight patterns of goose. Over time, the phrase evolved to mean a futile or hopeless pursuit of something elusive or unattainable or unachievable.

Goose, being wild and unpredictable, are difficult to catch, symbolizing the frustration and pointlessness of chasing something that seems impossible to obtain.

Thanks for reading.
