- The art of intimidating - (2)
A pair of signalers geese also live in the Museum's Garden. They always seem to be in a bad mood but I have seen them in contact with children without the slightest problem.
In fact, they are of the species Anser Cygnoide, originally from the wet and flooded regions of Asia (particularly China) where they can feed on grasses, leaves, seeds, slugs and mollusks.
Geese of this species are nicknamed "Signalers" because they are excellent guard geese, capable of giving unmistakable signals when a stranger approaches. They have keen hearing, unrivaled vision and an eye structure that allows them to see more clearly than humans and dogs.
In addition, they have a fantastic sense of direction and great ferocity in the demarcation of their territory, which makes them excellent guards. There is no use trying to deceive them with any kind of gift.
Chinese signalers geese can be white or brown, and it is from this last lineage that I now present in these photos.
