The domestic goose are domesticated grey geese that are kept by humans as poultry for their meat, eggs, and down feathers since ancient times.
In Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia, the original domesticated geese are derived from the greylag goose. In eastern Asia, the original domesticated geese are derived from the swan goose which are commonly known as Chinese geese.
Both have been widely introduced in more recent times, and modern flocks in both areas (and elsewhere, such as Australia and North America) may consist of either species or hybrids between them.
In addition, males can be distinguished by the protective behavior they exhibit towards their mates and their offspring. The male will typically stand between his partner and any perceived threat.
