Hierarchy: Geese decide who leads their flying formation by taking turns sharing the responsibility. Geese typically take an equal share of leading their flying formation to split the load among multiple birds.

Group Membership: With geese, they are stable and fluid within their social structure as they consist of a typical goose family: a male and female adult — who, once paired off, typically remain monogamous for life. However, once the children are older, they will separate and find their own partners.

Communication: Geese use a lot of body language to communicate, as well as verbal cues. The head bowing is a greeting. If a goose flaps its wings and wiggle its behinds, that is a sign for them to stay alert. As for verbal cues, they will often honk. ]]> 2022-03-29 18:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chanthal381088/6enzzlp9nn3mwjby/wish/2119981216 chanthal381088 https://padlet.com/chanthal381088/6enzzlp9nn3mwjby/wish/2119981780 How Do Geese Decide Who Leads?

Flocking is an adaptation as it allows animals to migrate in groups in order to move to an area that fits their needs. For example, geese will often move to warmer climates during winter in order to find water and food that will fit their needs, and being a flock lowers their chances of becoming prey to predators such as eagles or wolves.]]> 2022-03-29 18:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/chanthal381088/6enzzlp9nn3mwjby/wish/2120009105 chanthal381088 https://padlet.com/chanthal381088/6enzzlp9nn3mwjby/wish/2120013085 The benefits of social behavior as a whole are for living things provides higher chance of survival because of protection, success for finding food, and it makes migration easier while in groups. For example, for flocking, you remain together as a group and travel to an environment that fits your needs. By flocking, you protect yourself from predators because you have companions that will alert and help fight them off. Furthermore, in case of flocking, you have a more likely chance of finding food as you will cover more ground in groups.
