Gosling-1191

            Baby geese are born precocial, which means they’re reasonably well-developed, covered in down, and are almost ready to leave the nest and feed immediately. Most goslings are covered in a yellowish down which turns light grey to olive green towards the tips of the feathers.

Goslings are much lighter than ducklings and lack the black stripe through their eye, with overall less-defined colouration. Overall, goslings are more yellow than cygnets, which tend to be a light grey.

Goslings are also quite large with long necks and triangular bills, which contrast with the flatter bills of ducklings.

With their fluffy down and stubby wings, goslings are cute and characterful. They leave the nest within 24 hours, which makes them pretty conspicuous throughout the breeding season, especially compared to other baby birds that remain well hidden.
