geese
V-formation fliers
Geese is the plural of goose—large waterfowl with long necks, found wild and domesticated.
The irregular plural follows the same pattern as feet and teeth.
A flock of geese flew overhead.
Someone's goose is cooked when they're in trouble, but the plural doesn't appear in that idiom.
