What does it mean when several wedges or V formations of birds fly over you at one time?
Just that there are a lot of birds.
A large number will rarely fit into a single V formation. It splits up and several such groups form.
Coined along with many other collective nouns in 15th century, possibly from Old Norse gagl "goose", or from Middle English where the word meant "mindless chatter" usually applied to women (sorry!). Gaggle is only used for geese on the ground, a group in flight is called a skein, related to the same word used to describe a thread, especially of wool.

What is the angle of goose neck in boiler?
The angle of a goose neck in a boiler typically refers to the bend in the piping that connects the boiler to the chimney or flue. This bend is usually designed at an angle of around 45 degrees to facilitate effective gas flow and minimize pressure loss. The precise angle can vary based on the specific design and requirements of the boiler system. Proper installation is essential to ensure efficient operation and prevent issues like backpressure or condensed moisture buildup.
What happens when goose eggs hatch?
Well, you may find a gosling, or an embryo; if you find a gosling, then it will most likely die soon. When birds hatch, they have a special tooth, but they also need strength. Breaking out of the egg on their own builds up strength. If you open the egg for it, then it will not have the strength it needs (unless you train it, but even that probably wouldn't work), so it will most likely die from not being able to support itself.

What does the goose use its beak for?
The purpose of a duck's beak is to allow the duck to quack. The quack sound resonates when the diaphraghm muscle contracts forcing the trapped air upwards into the oesophagus. The quacktorial gland in the beak then opens and closes to create an echo effect and therefore creating the sound we hear, commonly known as a quack. This is also why a duck's quack does not echo!
