Best Answer

Nemesis was a child either of Nyx (Night) alone or with Nyx's consort Erebus (Darkness); or of the Titan Oceanus, or of Zeus.

Two daughters of Nyx were called Nemesis :

Adrasteia and Rhamnusia or Rhamnusis

There is an allegorical tradition that Zeus begot by Nemesis at Rhamnus an egg, which Leda found, and from which Helena and the Dioscuri sprang, whence Helena herself is called Rhamnusis

Why is the goose Nemesis's' sacred animal?

The egg Nemesis laid is found by Queen Leda of Sparta.This would explain why Nemesis considered the goose sacred to her.
