The Canada goose is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe.
Lifespan: 10 – 24 years (In the wild)
Scientific name: Branta canadensis
Conservation status: Least Concern (Population increasing) Encyclopedia of Life
Clutch size: 2 – 9
Mass: Male: 7.1 – 14 lbs (Adult), Female: 5.5 – 12 lbs (Adult)
Did you know: During the second year of their lives, Canada Geese find a mate.
Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators, and are well known as a common park species. Their success has led to them often being considered a pest species because of their depredation of crops and their noise, droppings, aggressive territorial behavior, and habit of begging for food (caused by human hand feeding), especially in their introduced range. Canada geese are also among the most commonly hunted waterfowl in North America and northwest Europe.
