What is the theme for the poem something told the wild geese by Rachel Field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

wild geese migrating from the coming winter. It's about how they know when to fly south where the climate would be warm.you would need to know the title to be able to tell exactly what sort of animal and species it was, otherwise all you would actually know about the poem is that something or someone is migrating from one place to another because of the winter which if you were asked what was migrating you wouldn't be able to answer it or if you did it would have most likely not be geese.

How many miles do geese fly a day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the goose and his/her purpose for taking flight. Geese often take a short trip around the neighborhood to check out local ponds to see what is going on. A trip for food or to meet up with the flock may be a trip that is only a block or two...some families don't fly anywhere in a day or even a week if they've found a comfortable spot.

As far as migration in concerned, they can fly up to a few hundred miles a day, saying the flock is healthy, well-fed, properly hydrated and no members suffer with illness or injury. It also depends on how far away if their winter/summer home is from their present location. Some geese do not migrate at all for the winter. Migration depends on the preference of the flock leaders and their assessment as to if every member is up for making the trip.

Seagull eggs are laid and nested two to three at a time, and it takes about 26 days from laying to hatching. It really depends on the gull species. But for herring gulls, the above guideline is fairly accurate

Are Canada goose mammals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Canadian Geese have a tendency to defend against humans when they feel themselves or their goslings to be threatened. First the geese will stand erect, spread their wings and produce a hissing sound. Next, the geese will charge. They may then bite or attack with their wings; wings are strong enough to break a human arm, and their bills can do a lot of damage.

Do Canada geese hibernate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they do. They tuck their beaks under their wings and rest their heads on their backs. Their eyelids are white, so if you look at a resting goose and his/her eyes are white then they are sleeping. Canadas sleep on water for protection, so no land-based predator can get at them. But keep in mind that even with flocks that are resting or sleeping there are always a few that are still awake, protecting the family.

Why do Armies Goose-step march?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The goosestep is a long military tradition originated in Prussia. It was designed as a drill to impress observers.

Not quite. The Electors of Brandenburg [with its capital of Berlin], the Hohenzollerns, were Kings in Prussia following their acquisition of the Kingdom following the Great Norhern War, 1725-ish.

Since Brandenburg was a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and its Emperor forbad kings in the Empire, the Brandenburgers couldn't be called King of Prussia until Napoleon had abolished the HRE of the GN in 1806, I think; only King In Prussia, which sort of distanced them from their Habsburg Emperors; against whom they often waged successful wars.

The Hohenzollerns were acquisitive, as we all are; and quite good at making war.

Advances in firearms technology in the 18th century allowed well-drilled companies of infantry to deliver lead to their enemies, as easily as a machine-gun would in the 20th century.

To train his armies to not merely march in step but also get strong bodies to provide accurate musket-fire over distance, the romantic Hohenzollern Elector Frederick II, the Great, invented the goose-step in the mid-18th century....just in time to be a very able ally of the English in the 7 Years' War. Which gained for us yet more of India, North America, the Caribbean and elsewhere; and the Hohenzollerns were confirmed in their ownership of Prussia, all of Silesia, and they acquired yet more of north Germany. Which meant that they were able to offer us more help during the wars against the French 1792-1815. Indeed, the arrival of Blucher's Brandenburgers at Waterloo did for the French in that battle.

Since Prussia is a bleak place, there were quite a few Prussians in the army of the Brandenburgers; and they became Kings of Prussia once the HRE of the GN had gone. Hence the mix-up.

Granted, the goose-step is intimidating, a sort of group-kick, and the minimum height for the Hohenzollerns' Guardsmen was 6 feet; so, plus, tall helmets, they had a presence. Which was very effective against the Russians, French, Austrians, and Danes from its invention till stopped by machine-guns in WW1.

Who or what are the 'Wild Geese'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wild Geese were Irish who served in foreign wars in the 18th century.

AnswerMost of them were Jacobite's (those who supported the English catholic king James 1 in a war over the English throne) who were banished from Ireland after losing the war, they went on to become large contingents of all the main European (catholic) armies especially the French. Ireland has always had a large number of people in other armed forces and I think but am not sure that the term extends to them too. You will find Irish units winning independence for parts of South America, fighting for Napolean or the boers etc,
