Why is the Northern Pond Goose called the "amorous bird"? The mystery is yours to solve: you will witness the truly strange and beautiful way in which northern pond geese fall in love: the female and the male spread their wings face to face and then, shaking their heads, rubbing their beaks against each other or grooming their feathers with their beaks. Finally, the female and male raise their heads together, their bills pointing to the sky, and keep calling as if to announce to the rest of the group, "We are married! . Locals liken this scene to "fencing" (l'escrime in French). The northern pond goose has earned the honorary title of "amorous bird" for its unique and famous "fencing kiss".
