They speak of the changing of seasons, and also the value of teamwork. What many don’t know is that when a goose gets sick or perhaps is wounded by a shot, it never falls from formation by itself. Two other geese also fall out of formation with it and follow the ailing goose down to the ground.  One of them is very often the mate of the wounded bird, since geese mate for life and are extremely loyal to their mates.  Once on the ground, the healthy birds help protect him and care for him as much as possible, even to the point of throwing themselves between the weakened bird and possible predators. They stay with him until he is either able to fly, or until he is dead.  Then, and only then, do they launch out on their own. In most cases, they wait for another group of geese to fly overhead...
