About
The domestic goose is a heavy farm bird bred from wild geese, standing over two feet tall.
Domestic geese are descended from wild greylag and swan geese, but selective breeding has made them significantly heavier than their wild ancestors. Males, called ganders, generally grow larger and heavier than females, though sizes vary across different breeds. Because of this substantial body mass, most domestic varieties are completely grounded and cannot fly like wild geese.
From Wikipedia
A domestic goose is a goose that humans have domesticated and kept for their meat, eggs, or down feathers, or as companion animals. Domestic geese have been derived through selective breeding from the wild greylag goose and swan goose.
