A goose is a large water bird with a long neck, short legs, webbed feet, and a short broad bill. They are known for their distinct honking noise and they are typically white, grey or black in color. Geese are herbivores, usually grazing for food in open grassy areas near water, and are often migratory, flying in a "V" formation to breeding or wintering grounds. They are also well-known for being protective of their young. The term "goose" is generally used to refer to the females while males are often referred to as "ganders".

This is a tough one. I love Goose like a brother, from the first day we met, I knew that life was different. I knew he was someone who would change my life forever.
