How do you tell the difference between a girl and a guy goose?

As it petains to Canada geese, the behavior is the easiest way to distinguish sex.

the males are fairly defiant, and act like gladiators, while the females are more chummy, and have a more warm personality.

Beyond that, the males have a call that sounds like "aHawnk" while the females go "aHinKK"..additionally when they are flying in pairs they do a duet altenating these calls that is so well synchronized it will sound like one goose doing it all. But you identify the one going 'aHinkk' and you have the female, for sure.

the only other way requires much skill, you insert a well lubricated index finger up the goose's back door, and if you feel a small lump inside, you have a male.

Are goose killed to make goose feather shuttlecocks for badminton?

This is indeed a very interesting question. Come to think that will goose feather reproduce if only part of it is trimmed/ removed? I guess they will not. Also, also since they are so many goose being slaughtered daily and why not salvage the feather for shuttlecocks?

Geese and ducks molt their feathers every year, naturally, all by themselves, so you could follow your pet geese or ducks around and collect the left wing feathers as they dropped out and use them to make your own shuttlecocks if you wanted to make some that involved not killing the birds.

The feathers ARE harvested from slaughtered ducks and geese and used for many uses, shuttlecocks included, the geese are not killed to get the feathers, the feathers are removed to get to the meat. The shuttlecock manufacturers do get the left wing feathers from the meat processing factories.
