Canada Geese not Canadian :)
- boatswain 7y agoWhat if they are from Canada? Are they Canadian Canada Geese?
- Tyr42 7y agoWe put all our fill will into the geese, then send them south for the winter to let it all out. It's how we maintain our niceness. Might have had some side effects though.
- billly 7y agoWhere are you from? I've never heard anyone say Canada Geese.
- mikestew 7y agoThat’s what they’re called[0], no matter where you’re from. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_goose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_goose
- linuxftw 7y agoNobody says Canada Geese unless you're on the internet. It's pretty much Canadian Geese.
- exhilaration 7y agoAmerican here, can confirm.
- axaxs 7y agoI agree. I only have ever had one person correct me on this, who was, incidentally, Canadian. It's rather infuriating because the Latin name is literally 'from Canada'...which we already have a term for(Canadian). If anything, it feels like Canada Goose is a bad translation that people stick to.
- puranjay 7y agoCanada Geese is the species. Canadian Geese is any geese that's Canadian
- desert_boi 7y agoI've lived in ID and MT (bordering BC and Alberta) for most of my life and people mostly say canadian geese even though I've heard that canada geese is preferred.
