Description
Relationship Between Mallards and Geese
The two species generally respect each other and hang out together. During stress times (such as winter) ducks and geese often cooperate mutually for the benefit of both. This is especially true in situations of thin ice covering water (Geese can break up thin sheets of ice, while mallards, being smaller and quicker, help to maintain the open water once the ice is broken through) or snow on the ground (Geese can peck and pack down snow, allowing mallards easier opportunity to feed)
On the surface, it seems the mallards benefit far more from the relationship (in terms of security) than do the geese. One is pressed to figure exactly how geese benefit from the pesky ducks -- other than perhaps, keeping them sharp and on their toes all of the time
