Question ...... is Canada, is not Canadian or Canadien

To be linguistically or syntactically correct, Canada geese are never ever Canadian geese, it is always Canada geese with an upper case 'C' and a lower case 'g.'

They are not Canadian geese, they are Canada geese ...... honk-honk-honk! ...

So, to get this back on topic here, was it a 12-lb, 16-year old Canada goose that flew into the jet engine on Air Force Two, or some other large bird?

"Canada geese can live for 10-24 years and .... are monogamous with most couples staying together all their lives. If one dies, the other may find a new mate." ...... Wikipedia

Why are articles always referring to bird-strikes that are akin to committing bird suicide?

That Canada Goose was flapping his wings "at altitude"—minding his own business—when Air Force 2 scooped him out of the sky.

Default ...... it was Big Bird from Sesame Street!

Maybe it was a wild turkey and not a Canada goose, we don't know?

The January 2009 'Miracle on the Hudson' with Capt Chesley Sullenberger was caused when the plane met up with a flock of Canada geese that got inhaled into the jet engines causing the pilot to make an emergency water landing in the nearby river.

All things considered, a single large bird, even a bald eagle or the very rare flying ostrich, let alone a Canada goose, has no value what-so-ever when compared to an airplane flying with passengers onboard.

And he does it so WELL!
But, FLL, if Canada geese aren't Canadian- what kind of passport do they use?

Here comes more POOP!
