Untitled[edit]

Something to add to this article and the duck one, if anyone knows it: It says that goose contains much more fat than chicken or turkey, but is this specific to the domesticated goose? I've heard wild duck (for example) is comparatively lean compared to most domestic food varieties, the most common food varieties being incredibly fatty (I'd add this to the domestic duck article if I had a source at hand). On that note, it should probably be noted which has more fat: domestic duck or domestic goose. 69.85.162.27 02:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A brief comment: I would consider very important for the issue of fat accumulation in both geese and duck, the fact that they are fed with very high energy diets for fattening purposes (foie gras for instance, fatty liver). Wild or less intensively kept birds would be leaner.

Geese as guard animals[edit]

I thought I remembered something about geese being used as guard animals too. A quick Google search found [1] from the UN that has a little bit of information. More research might yield better results. howcheng {chat} 16:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
