These habitats provide geese with abundant food sources, nesting sites, and protection from predators. Geese are primarily herbivorous birds, feeding on a diverse range of plant materials depending on the season and habitat. They graze on grasses, sedges, and other herbaceous plants found in meadows, pastures, and wetlands.
