I observed this species of Goose in a semi-feral state in Michigan, why does the article state the range as only China? --Jeff 17:13, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expert needed
While I don't really want to put up the {{expert}} tag, this article needs a bird expert to explain the differences in appearance between wild and domestic/feral/introduced versions of the Swan Goose. Is the variation (and beak knob) strictly among domestics? –Outriggr § 23:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
No, of course it may be on a wild bird.
[edit] Knob usage
An explanation, if possible, of what use the knob comes into play in the bird's behavior/life would be greeeat.--Notmyhandle 07:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
It's redundant.
- I would like an explanation too. 83.241.186.98 08:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

- No, actually I was being humorous, the correct answer is that the knob is recessive.
What does "sexing" mean? Benzh 13:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sexing is the act of determining the sex of an animal. In alot of animals, the sex is not outwardly visible without close inspection. --Jeff 15:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AKA China White?
My parents own a breed of goose similar to the images of this goose (the white one with orange beak and knob), but they say they're called a China White goose. Is this another name for the breed?
