The graylag goose is a large, powerful bird with gray-brown feathers and a gray-black piebald breast plumage. It is a stem form of the domestic goose. The powerful beak and pink-orange webfeet are another characteristic. The graylag goose breeds in loose colonies over northern and central Europe in well camouflaged soil nests on the edge of waters. Greylag geese are migratory birds, but there are also true-to-life colonies. Greylag geese have become famous due to the researches of Korand Lorenz. All gray geese in the Almtal come from the colony of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center.
