They are highly adaptable birds, thriving in varied habitats, from remote wild areas to urban parks. Canada Geese are primarily herbivorous and are often seen in groups, leading to their well-known migratory behavior in V-shaped formations. This social structure is vital during migration, providing safety and increasing the efficiency of travel. As symbols of the wilderness amidst modernity, the presence of Canada geese in art often highlights themes of adaptation and survival.
