Canada Geese


The Canada goose is a big bird with a wingspan of up to 6 feet (2 meters). Some people feed them, and some people think they're a nuisance. They eat grass or bread and they poop all over the place. They used to fly south for the winter, but now they are too fat to fly very far, so they stay here all year round. If they fly into an airplane engine, they can bring down the plane. I think that's what happened to that pilot who landed in the Hudson River in New York.
