Have you ever wondered?

Have you ever wondered  when you see geese heading south for the winter, why they fly in a "V" formation?  As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. 
 When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. 
  Did you know that geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. 


Finally -  - when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out of the formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies; and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their own group. 


If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.
