All geese like to fly in the V formation also known as a skein formation. This formation helps with their flying efficiency and how far they can fly.

it is also called a skein

A gathering of swans is called a flock, unless they are flying in a V formation. While in formation flight, the correct term is a wedge.
a group of flying geese is called skein. geese flying in a 'V' formation is called wedge.
A group of geese flying in "V" formation is called a wedge.
This is called the V formation which greatly boosts the efficiency and range of birds. This reduces the amount of drag that the birds produce.

W formation, V Formation and Diamond formation
I watch Canadian Geese fly over my house in a v formation all the time. :-)
Rock Formation - 2006 V is rated/received certificates of: UK:15
The v-formation is more efficient for birds who are flying long distances.
