Famous road-crossing geese to star in their own calendar

Check out these flock-stars.

A gaggle of 'celebrity' geese in the town of March, Cambridgeshire, are waddling their way into a 2026 calendar.

For over ten years, around 20 white geese have been strutting their stuff around town like they own the place - seen crossing streets, walking on pavements, visiting shops and even learning how to use a zebra crossing.

The British Trust for Ornithology, who are bird experts, says it has never heard of examples of geese visiting shops.

As for crossing the road, a spokesperson said: "Many birds are highly intelligent, and certainly some, such as crows and gulls are more than capable of observing and learning such behaviour but, personally, I've never seen geese do this."

The feathery friends have flapped their way into the heart of many people in March, and a social media fan club, The Geese of March, has over 3,000 members.

However, some residents are not fans of the flock because they say there's far too much poo around town.

The goal is to sell 800 calendars at £5 each and raise £4,000 for animal charities.

But Brenda Smith, who lives in the town, said: "They are a pain; there's that much poo everywhere; it is all over the brand new pavements," she said.

But another resident, Kerry Howard, is definitely 'Team Goose'. "It makes me laugh… we can't go anywhere because the geese are crossing the road. It just makes you think… slow down."
