Detailed explanation-1: -First, it conserves their energy. Each bird flies slightly above the bird in front of them, resulting in a reduction of wind resistance. The birds take turns being in the front, falling back when they get tired. In this way, the geese can fly for a long time before they must stop for rest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Geese fly in a V formation to take advantage of the windbreak provided by the lead bird. They take turns at the head of the V.
Detailed explanation-3: -The V-Formation of birds situates each member back and to the side directly in its neighbour’s upwash. The pressure difference increases as we go at the end of the V-Formation, so the birds at the back spend very less energy than the birds upfront.
Detailed explanation-4: -That said, how do geese decide who gets to be the leader? Geese don’t have one leader when they fly. Instead, they are taking turns, sharing the responsibility of being the lead bird. Each goose in the flock has an equal share of leading to split the load among multiple birds while flying in V formation.
