Snow geese are vegetarians, and they feed on plants such as shrubs, grasses, willows, and forbs. There’s almost no limit on the plant parts they eat; they will also feed on seeds, leaves, stems, roots, and tubers.
They are one of the oldest domestic goose breeds in the world, dating about two centuries back. Emden geese are thought to have originated from Germany. However, some other sources believe they originated from Denmark.
Roman Tufted geese may have been around for up to two millennia, dating back to the times of ancient Rome. Italians of that time revered, these birds as sacred to Juno, the goddess of marriage.
