The three of us

Chinese gooses sometimes make a nest of three. One male and two
females. The nest is made in a hollow tree. The two females lay
their eggs both in the same nest. Together with the male, they provide the
boy.

Quick beak

The bill of the Chinese goosander is serrated. This allows it to fish well
catch. It often dives completely underwater to look for its food. He then remains
about thirty seconds underwater. In shallow water, the Chinese goosander sticks out
only his head under water.
