Description
I photographed this handsome brown domesticated Swan Goose at Noble Park in Paducah Kentucky.
The domesticated Swan Goose was native to eastern Eurasia and is sometimes called a Chinese Goose. Unlike the wild variety, the domestic Swan Goose usually has a large knob at the base of the bill. It also can show a white patch behind the bill. It varies from wild type coloring (mostly gray with a dark line down the back of the otherwise white neck) to pure white.
The Chinese Swan Goose is the preferred goose for homeowners wanting a goose as an indoor pet and often come in two varieties - the brown and white. The white variety is by far the most popular. I personally like the brown ones better.
