Honking Haven: You can't miss the loud, honking calls that echo across the water. They use them to communicate, warn each other of danger, or simply chat amongst themselves. Think of it as their own goose gossip network.

Family first: They form strong, lifelong pairs and raise their young together. You might see a family of goslings, fluffy yellow balls of adorableness, following their parents in a cute little convoy.
