A '''goose''' is a two-legged winged [[animal]] that is a member of the water fowl species. It makes a '' 'honk' '' sound rather than a '' 'quack' '' (like a [[duck]]).

These birds are also bigger and more aggressive than ducks. For that reason, they sometimes work well as [[guard]]s. Goose [[feather]]s make good [[quill]]s and were often used as [[feather|fletching]].

It should be noted that goose [[feather]]s acquired from a commercial supplier seem to have been treated to remove the natural oils in the feather and tend to come apart more readily.
