I think geese are clever. Before today, my outlook was different, but after seeing them in flight formation during a family BBQ I developed a newly found respect for them. What surprises me is the whole kerfuffle they have to go through to migrate.
Humans have technology. When we go on holiday, we usually travel through the air in a sealed metal tube with staff that dish out bags of nuts. Geese have to fly over a span of absolutely miles in the hope they'll find some place warmer than where they're flying from. It's a risky business. What if they just can't be bothered half way through the process? Another thing that I noticed is that there's always a leader with these geese formations. How do the geese kingdom elect leaders? Polls? Fights? General knowledge quizzes?
