- Taking care of everyone - (2)
Back to the Garden of the Museum of the Republic, another species found is the domestic goose ((Anser cygnoides domesticus / Anser anser). This type of goose is part of a family of birds that includes ducks and swans.
There are more than 40 varieties of geese. Wild geese inhabit temperate regions, migrating to warmer locations during the winter.
Geese were domesticated in Ancient Egypt for meat production and feathers for making arrows.
In general, domestic geese are more active at night, and due to their territorial sense they can play guard dog functions, as mentioned about Signaler Geese. The captive bird can live up to 50 years.
Something interesting I noticed about the geese and ducks that live in the garden of the Museu da República is that everyone takes care of and protects the goose or duck chiks. So, no matter who are the parents they taking care of everyone.
