A few years ago, Sonia Kleindorfer was interviewing to become the director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center for Behavior and Cognition in Vienna, Austria.
"My predecessor was telling me this story," she says. Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian biologist who spent much of his career studying the behavior of local Greylag Geese. Famously, his students presented him with a plaque that had 30 goose faces on it.
"He went on to correctly name each goose," she said. "He made one error, and that was two sisters."

Well sure! Why not. Geese deserve to be individuals too.<smile> Here come da' geese!
Thanks for the good article. I suppose something similar could be accomplished with other birds, and other critters, too.
Geese are fascinating birds, imo. The old grey goose type has long been a favorite.
They have been used in place of guard dogs in times past. They create drama? Lol. Apparently, when they are angry and loud!
Grandma's goose did not like to be teased, and never forgot a face. as some of the grandkids painfully learned.
