Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the air, the geese use the recognizable V formation or diagonally straight lines. These formations minimize drag on the individuals and gives the flock a streamlined shape. The feathers of geese have many advantages. They allow flight and are much better insulators than mammalian hair.

Detailed explanation-2: -One thing that has never changed is that geese are good for the environment. They provide several ecological benefits that may aid other plants and animals. They can serve as seed dispersers by eating plants in one area and then depositing seeds in another area through their feces.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Geese can be raised for a number of different reasons, including to provide meat or down and feathers or to serve as weeders or guard animals. Geese are excellent foragers, and by the time they are five to six weeks old, they can get a lot of their diet from pasture.
