When is the day when the geese return to the south?

Autumn harvest season.

Every autumn, geese will return to the south in droves and fly to the north to breed when they are in full bloom next year. Every autumn and winter, they will fly in droves from their hometown of Siberia to the south of China for the winter.

The following spring, after a long journey, they returned to Siberia to lay eggs and breed. The flying speed of geese is very fast, which can fly 68 ~ 90 kilometers per hour, and the long distance of thousands of kilometers is only one or two months.

Extended data:

Wild geese fly back to the north to breed after the vernal equinox every year, and fly to the south for winter after the autumnal equinox.

Geese love, geese never live alone, and singular numbers rarely appear in a group of geese. If one dies, the other will commit suicide or die of depression.

Wild geese are omnivorous waterfowl with strong adaptability. They often inhabit waterside or marshland with overgrown water plants, and feed on some non-toxic and tasteless weeds, grasses, cereals, snails and shrimps. Sometimes I wander in the lake and like to mate in the water. Strong gregarious and good at fighting. In spring 10 ~ 20 birds move together, and in winter, hundreds of birds feed and live together.
