First there are commonly two types of Canadian Geese, for simplicity lets call them the large ones and the smaller ones.\n\nIf you look at the geese flock, you will notice that in some flocks the geese are all larger and in some they are all smaller.\n\nNow for male and female, in a given flock, the bigger ones are the males and the smaller ones with a tiny bit of smaller tail are the females.  The males are usually the leaders and stay on the periphery and a bit aggressive too.  The females tend to be agressive if they have babies around.

Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

Pekin ducks (not "peking duck", the Chinese dish) are the white domestic ducks.  \n\nThere are many other ducks, including mallards.  Mallard drakes have are partly green, and the hens are brown.

I think crafty mum has it about right. Ducks normally walk in a line when traveling as a family group. Papa duck, mama duck, baby ducks all in a row.

Stuttgart, AR is known as the duck hunting capital of the world.  I have worked in that area during duck and goose season and I could not believe the sheer numbers of waterfowl in the air.  Unless you have a really good eye, hire a guide that can identify species in the air

Male geese.\nGeese typically mate for life (though thats not to say, they don't have multiple partners now and then). During breeding season, the male goose is very territorial of his females. This can especially be demonstrated with Canadian geese! Scary stuff. :)\n\nA male goose will charge at threats, with his wings spread out and his head lowered. After the attacker has been scared off...he'll return to his female and they'll do a little ritual where the male boasts about himself, and the female seems to congratulate him. Its thought that they reaffirm their bond to eachother through displays like this.\n\nA male goose also protects his young. Both mother and father help raise the goslings....while in ducks, the mother does all the work.

There are wild pigeons; they are called rock doves, though I sometimes think 'concrete doves' would be a better name.

Cool question. They are gregarious (like groups) wading birds related to other large wading birds such as \nBoatbills, Shoebills, Hammerkops, storks, ibises and spoonbills.\n\nYou can find the scientific classification and their spot in the bird family tree at the link below!

ok\n Hoatzin chicks have archyopterix-style claws on their wings\n\nPuffin`s beaks are not as colourful out of the breeding season\n\nThe Goatsucker (no, not el Chuppacabra, the bird!) of the USA is called a Nightjar in the UK\n\nAmerican Robins are not related to european Robins, they are in fact a type of thrush\n\ncormorants have to open their wings to "dry" them as they`re not as waterproof as other waterbirds.

male peacocks (the ones with the bright plumage) are called peacocks, females are properly called "peahens".  Although many people incorrectly like to refer to both as peacocks.\n\nhope this helps :-)
