Map Question

Is the map accurate I live in the southern U.S. and I would testify under oath that these pest are around for the whole year not just summer it is so bad that in some places in the middle of summer you can't go outside without stepping in their "gifts" ChrisLamb 18:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the range map should be rethought. Tallahassee, FL, for instance, is well-known to have a year-round population of Canada Geese (who especially enjoy defecating on FSU's intramural fields). What is the source for these range maps? 38.106.100.57 (talk) 14:17, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Brownsea Island recording

Are we sure this is a pure recording of geese and only geese? I think I hear seagulls... Blythwood (talk) 09:17, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

English spelling changes

Since it's called the Canada goose. I think the spellings should be changed to Canadian spellings. LittleJerry (talk) 22:30, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how it works here at Wikipedia. Articles remain in the variety of English they were started in. The sole exception to this rule is if they are about a subject restricted to an area with a particular variety of English (i.e. an article about a Canadian town would be written in Canadian English). Since this is about a goose which is found across much of the world now (an area with multiple "English varieties" -- Canadian English, American English, Australian English, British English -- it should stay as it started. And the variety it was started in was Australian English. Sorry! MeegsC (talk) 22:53, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Canada goose

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Canada goose's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CRC":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:17, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

edibility

I think this should be expanded that commercial farmed geese are not as 'gamey' tasting, and may be slightly fattier meat. I can eat Canada goose, but it is not a favorite. Even farmed geese have lost out in a major way to turkey just about everywhere. Maybe a bit about what is usual in the preparation of wild geese of the species would be an expansion of information for the article? 50.111.44.55 (talk) 16:31, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

50.111.44.55, that's fine but what we need are citations. I added this section originally and was limited by what I could find. Blythwood (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
