Faroese goose
22 May - 2009 - Porkeri - Suðuroy - Faroe Islands.
”The Viking Goose”
The Faroese have a special ‘goose culture’. In none of our neighbouring
countries can you see so many small flocks of geese in fields
and in larger or smaller enclosures in the cultivated areas
on the Faroe Islands.
The Faroese goose is thought to be a direct descendent of the
tame goose which the Landnam people brought with them from Scandinavia.
