The Goose Story
Next fall, when you see Geese heading
South
for the Winter
... flying along in V formation ...
you might consider
what Science has discovered
as to Why they
fly that Way:
As each bird flaps its Wings, it
creates
an Uplift for
the bird immediately Following.
By flying in V formation the Whole
Flock adds
at least 71%
greater Flying Range,
than if each
bird Flew on its Own.
PEOPLE WHO SHARE A COMMON DIRECTION
AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY
CAN GET WHERE THEY ARE GOING MORE
QUICKLY AND EASILY
BECAUSE
THEY ARE TRAVELLING ON THE THRUST
OF ONE ANOTHER.
When a goose Falls out of Formation
it suddenly feels
the Drag and Resistance
of trying to
go it alone ... and quickly
gets back into
Formation to take Advantage
of the Lifting
Power of the bird in front.
IF WE HAVE AS MUCH SENSE AS A GOOSE
WE WILL STAY IN FORMATION WITH THOSE
WHO ARE HEADED THE SAME WAY WE ARE.
When the Head Goose gets tired it
rotates back
in the Wing ...
and another goose flies Point.
IT IS SENSIBLE TO TAKE TURNS DOING DEMANDING
JOBS ...
WITH PEOPLE OR WITH GEESE FLYING
SOUTH.
Geese honk from behind to Encourage
those up Front
to keep up their
Speed.
WHAT DO WE SAY WHEN WE HONK FROM BEHIND?
Finally ... and this is Important
... when a goose gets Sick,
or is wounded
by Gunshots, and falls out of Formation,
two other Geese
fall out with that goose and
follow it down
to lend Help and Protection
They stay with the Fallen Goose
until it is able to Fly
or until it Dies;
and only then do they launch out
on their own,
or with another Formation
to catch up with
their Group.
IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE
WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER LIKE
THAT.
