General information about Geese
- A male goose is called a GANDER, and the female is called a GOOSE.
- A GAGGLE is a group of geese.
- Geese are used in weeding tobacco, cotton, mint, strawberry, asparagus, corn, sugar cane, sugar beets, and flower fields, as well as vineyards, nurseries and fruit orchards. They are not good for weeding your vegetable garden and will eat its contents.
