Bar headed geese are native to Asia, where they breed in colonies of thousands near mountain lakes of Central Asia; they winter in South Asia, as far south as peninsular India. The bar-headed goose is often kept in captivity, as it is considered beautiful and breeds readily. This beauty was in captivity at the Château de Chenonceau.

Thanks for looking and please check out my group!...
Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca).Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. May 12th, 2017.

Sometimes in life, you just have to walk the walk. That can mean many things. For me, it means keeping my head up and pushing past a difficult situation. Admittedly, not a easy thing to do but I always feel better afterwards for having done it!
The Chinese goose is a breed of domesticated goose descended from the wild swan goose. Chinese geese differ from the wild birds in much larger size, and in having an often strongly developed basal knob on the upper side of the bill.
Scientific name: Anser cygnoides
As I was taking photos of a beautiful eagle I noticed this lone goose swimming on Semi-ah-moo Bay. Soon there will be flocks of these beautiful geese swimming here.
Here's the taxi rank, and one goose cab is off to a green area. The others gradually follow, reforming each time into another taxi...
It's easier, especially in strong winds for the geese to fly together. Even over a short distance, it's possible to see some geese drop back a bit as others come to the front. I don't know if anybody gets any tips!
According to a news report I once saw, some athletic trainers have urged their trainees to watch how geese work together to achieve their amazing flights.
