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.
