Geese biography

They are attracted by territories that have two properties. The first is open space. The goose sitting on the masonry sees far. Especially taking into account the fact that her neck is long. When the ground predator appears, the goose has the opportunity to make a decision in advance what action to choose. She can: “Sitting quietly, trying to remain not noticed,“ to protect the masonry, if the predator is not very large, - try to divert the attacker from the nest, pretending to be the wounded, the birds have such a technique in behavior, - to throw off the instituted eggs if the enemy is large and there is no other way out.

The second property of the tundra landscape is, although it is open, but not naked, like rocks in highlands or sandy sorcerers in deserts. If shrubs, curtains of grass, bumps and pits in the swamps.

You can find a shelter where the nest and the incubating goose will not be so noticeable. In the global ornithophane, ten species of birds belong to the family of geese. Some biologists believe that eleven. Eight of them nest in Russia. Five - in the natural zone of the tundra. The forest -tundra is usually also not disdained. It also has enough open spaces that these birds choose.

The White Goose is the most picky. In Russia, he withdraws chicks only on Wrangel Island. Certain cases of nesting are sometimes noted on the mainland. About white goose - a separate page. The rest of the birds of this kind is gray, it is like in a folk song about one gray, the other white, but in fact brown-brown. One of the most common is the Gumennik goose.

It nests not only in the tundra, but in the taiga on hard -to -reach lakes and river islands in Karelia, the Arkhangelsk region, in Siberia and the Far East. Piskulka is a northern tundra goose. It is a little smaller than his relatives in size. The name received for the squeaky sounds that it makes when communicating with relatives. The White Gus is also a resident of the tundra, and one of the most numerous compared to other species.

Belosha is very rare. It is found in the lowlands of the Primorsky tundra Chukotka. All geese are fishing birds. They are large and there is a lot of meat in their bodies. For hunters, this is the desired prey. For lovers of Berdvotching: geese - cautious birds. They do not strive at all to watch someone. Relations with people were accustomed that a person is an enemy. At the same time, you can see geese, sometimes even close, and also take good photos.
