When geese fly together, each goose provides additional lift and reduces air resistance for the goose flying behind it.
By flying together in a v-formation, flock can fly about 70% farther with the same amount of energy.
When a goose drops out of the v-formation it quickly discovers that it requires a great deal more effort and energy to fly.
Geese rotate leadership.
While the goose flying in the front runner of the formation has to expend the most energy as it is the first to break up the flow of air for providing additional lift and when the lead goose gets tired, it drops out of the front position and moves to the rear of the formation, where the resistance is lightest.
They keep on changing the leadership many times while flying.
Geese honk frequently make loud honking sounds as they fly together just to communicate with each other.
Geese help each other, when one goose becomes ill, is shot or injured, they used to drops out of the formation, two other geese will help and remain with the weakened goose and stay with it till injured is able to fly or dies.

Christopher Intagliata reports normally birds follow the advice generally given to pilots -- "fly low and slow." Normal speeds are in the 20-to-30-mph range, but an eider duck having the fastest speed of about 47 mph.
But during chase the speed of the bird increases up to 60 mph or even faster.
The speed of Peregrine Falcon has been reported up to 200 mph and normally it can fly up to 100 mph.
The size of a bird hardly matters.
Hummingbirds and geese can fly at the same speed.
Mostly birds fly below 500 feet but during migration they can go higher 10,000 feet to 20,000 feet.
Whooper Swans hold the altitude record of 29,000 feet.
