"consider where their beak would be" otherwise known as flying blind? but wouldn't this motivate the geese to arrive at their destination quicker? except for certain geese, that is

<<Geese fly in a V because it’s easier for every goose except the first one. They take turns leading. >> You nailed it. Like drafting in NASCAR.

PW, If birds didn’t fly in a V, consider where their beak would be. This is my whimsical explanation. LOL! Now that is amusing. So if dogs could fly, can we assume they would be in a straight line? Speaking of birds, we have numerous "morning doves" or "love birds" in our area - rarely do you see a single, always 2 or more together. They frequently perform a routine where they flap their wings & bump their breasts with one another in a kind of ceremonial type thing. I've never really been sure if it's mating related - especially since I've seen groups of 3 or more involved. Anyone know? Gary
