Branta canadensis = Canada goose/= cackling goose

 

Substance: egg from Minnesota

 

The Canada goose is widely distributed throughout North America; it occurs in or at least migrates through every state and province; natal areas are located in grasslands and chaparral areas,

and on the arctic tundra. Canada geese primarily live in wetland areas dominated by emergent vegetation which grow in water but which pierces the surface so that it is partially in air.

Herbivores and eat grasses/roots/tubers/leaves of various food plants.

Branta name comes from the Old Norse meaning burnt goose, referring to there grayish appearance.

Goose flesh was a source of protein for Native Americans and to European immigrants coming to North America. The goose’s feathers used in pillows and bedding, and goose grease was considered of medicinal value.

“There has emerged a composite picture of Aves: nervous energy, trembling or twitching and neuropathies; disturbances of appetite and water metabolism; sharp, stitching or tense and cramping pains; pattern rather than sequential thought; empathy, spirituality and sensitivity; detachment; perfectionism and a love of nature; a lack of understanding of time and space and perhaps most important a feeling of being trapped and a desire for freedom. (See Birds by Jonathon Shore and Birds – Seeking the Freedom of the Sky by Peter Fraser)”

Allerlei: Traditionally used to ease coughs and colds. Mixed with herbs and applied to the chest goose grease has a long history of folk medicine use. Relieved chapped hands and faces; for ear infections; to soothe rheuma.

When geese fly high in the sky the saying, “All is well and the goose hangs high,” indicated good weather to early Americans. The goose is associated with Juno, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, adviser and protector

of Rome. A symbol of marriage because of their fidelity (geese are monogamous for life).

Romans and Celts associated geese, because of their watchful nature and aggressive temperament, with warriors and protectors, legend has it that their warning cries sounded when attack was eminent

(Rom was saved in this way). The Celtic people kept geese, but did not eat them; considered totem animals or spirit guardians, geese remains and ancient warriors’ found in the same graves.

Thought that geese aided the warriors and shamans on their soul’s journeys to other worlds; therefore, the goose is a messenger between heaven and earth in many cultures.

Geese are guides associated with communication (use of stories). The term of endearment “silly goose” is for silly behaviour, and the scolding term “cackling goose” is for people who engage in idle chatter or gossip.

Native American: a harsh winter was on its way when geese flew south in early August
