FLYday - Canada Geese
FLYday - A Foursome of Canada Geese. These geese flew so low that I could hear their feathers whistling.
"Force-'em" is what they do to geese (and ducks) to make foie gras. Foie gras is made from hypertrophied goose liver. Domestic geese are force-fed by gavage. Their necks are hyper-extended upward. Then, a funnel is shoved down their throats and hideous amounts of food pushed into their bellies. The quantity of food is far more than would be consumed by geese in the wild or in captivity. The diet of corn boiled in oil causes subsequent fattening of the liver and a buttery taste favored by gastronomes. In about fourteen days, the liver grows so large that the goose often can not walk. They are never allowed to fly.
FLYday is an homage to what our feathered friends do best, fly.
