The term GEESE FLIGHT PATTERN refers to the V-shaped formation that geese fly in when migrating. This formation is thought to be beneficial for the birds, as it allows them to conserve energy and fly further distances. The V-shaped formation is created by the birds flying in a line, with each bird slightly behind and to the side of the bird in front of it. This creates the shape of a V, which is why the term GEESE FLIGHT PATTERN is often abbreviated to VEE.
