Gorgie Geese

Gorgie City Zoo, Edinburgh

"As geese flap their wings, they create an uplift for the bird following. By flying together in a V formation, the flock’s flying range is 71% greater than that of any bird flying alone.".
"When we share a common direction and sense of community, we can get where we are going more quickly and easily because we are travelling on the energy of another."

Took grandchildren to this zoo today. It is amazing - costs nothing to get in, fantastic atmosphere, superb cafe - we had an ace time. Steve had Sophia's pushchair close to the fence round these geese, when suddenly Sophia was in tears. The goose had popped its head through the fence and was biting her toes. Luckily she had shoes on.
