Breeding and exhibition geese 🪿 | Gęsi hodowlane i wystawowe | (Anser domesticus)
Today, another post related to the ornamental bird farm that I visited during the holidays. The protagonists are geese, farm birds often found in rural backyards. They are characterized by a long neck and a characteristic horn (a funny sound when they want to signal something), which can be quite loud. Goose meat is valued for its tastiness and often eaten in traditional dishes, especially during holidays, although it is not that popular in Poland in the kitchen. Breeding geese requires space, but many amateurs and enthusiasts decide to keep several individuals on their farms. Geese are also often used as guard birds on farms (due to their sound horn). Thanks to their vigilance and loud voice, they alert when something unusual is happening in their surroundings.
I don't know about other countries, but now in Poland there is a very popular mascot, the plush Pipa Goose 🪿
Dzisiaj kolejny post związany z farmą ptaków ozdobnych którą odwiedziłem w wakacje. Bohaterem są gęsi, to ptaki hodowlane, często spotykane na wiejskich podwórkach. Charakteryzują się długą szyją i charakterystycznym klaksonem (śmiesznym dźwiękiem, gdy chcą coś zasygnalizować), który potrafi być dość głośny. Mięso z gęsi jest cenione za swoją smaczność i często spożywane w tradycyjnych potrawach, zwłaszcza podczas świąt, chociaż w Polsce nie jest tak bardzo popularne w kuchni. Hodowla gęsi wymaga przestrzeni, ale wielu amatorów i pasjonatów decyduje się na utrzymanie kilku osobników w swoich gospodarstwach. Gęsi są też często wykorzystywane jako stróżujące ptaki na farmach (ze względu na swój dźwiękowy klakson), dzięki swojej czujności i donośnemu głosowi alarmują jak dzieje się coś niestandardowego w ich otoczeniu.
Nie wiem jak w innych krajach, ale teraz w polsce jest bardzo popularna maskotka, pluszowa Gęś Pipa 🪿

👍 ❤️ Upvoted ❤️ 👍
I have seen geese in the lakes and canals of Amsterdam. I don't think they are a trendy mascot here, though.
A friend that stays in Poland told "bober" is the new trendy animal in Poland now.
I haven't heard about the fashionable beaver, out of curiosity I checked Google and the goose has 300k results and the beaver has 100k - so the goose wins :) But maybe the fashion for the "bober" mascot is just blooming 😁
Hello dear friend @szejq Good morning
What a great place you visited, you had the opportunity to take beautiful shots.
In some cities in Argentina, especially in the countryside, these birds are used as guardians of the estate, since they are very curious and quite territorial.
Beautiful photographs, I appreciate you sharing this experience.
Have a great day
Thank you for your comment :)
