Good question! There are so many choices!
I think I would be a candian goose. First they are beautiful to look at, they are efficient, flying in the V pattern so that they can take turns braving the wind and resting, they are monogamous, the male goose protects his female partner while fertilization is taking place, and he protects his little goslings as they grow. I like that they are incredibly protective of their babies--well, I guess all mother's are. I also think they have a bad reputation, some people (including DH

) don't like geese because they are protective, teritorial, leave their droppings on your sidewalk and driveway (and yes they've done this on my driveway as well), etc..But generally they are beautiful, wonderful creatures.....have I convinced you to like them yet!
