Since ancient times, humans have raised domestic geese for their meat, eggs, and down feathers.
As most domestic geese display little sexual dimorphism, sexing is based primarily on physical characteristics and behavior. Males typically grow taller and larger than females.
Males protect their mates and their offspring. The domestic goose male will typically stand between his partner and any perceived threat.
Changes to the plumage are variable; many have been selected to lose dark brown tones of the wild bird. The result is an animal marked, or completely covered in white feathers.

Mother Goose, the domestic goose skull replica, started the Go Fish game with a fresh deck of cards. She looked straight at Daffy and honked do you have any fours.

Snow White, the American white pelican skull, asked Silas for kings.
Silas, the trumpeter swan skull replica, turn was next. He asked Mother Goose for jacks, and she hissed Go Fish buddy.
They all had a lot of fun playing Go Fish.
