The bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) gets its common named from the two bars of brownish-black colored feathers that wrap around the back of its head. This goose has a light grey body, white on its face and neck, orange legs, and bill. Its feet are webbed and it has broad wings. Adults, on average, grow to lengths of 30in and weights of 4lb-6.5lb.
Female bar-headed geese lay 4-6 white eggs per clutch, the eggs require about 27 days to incubate. In the wild, bar-headed geese breed in Central Asia (southeast Russia, northern India and western China) and migrates over the Himalayas to over-winter in India and northern Burma.
