The Cape Barren Goose is known for its striking appearance, characterized by a pale gray body, contrasting with a bright greenish-yellow cere (the fleshy area around the base of the bill) and legs. Its stout bill is black, and its eyes are surrounded by a patch of bare, bright red skin. These geese typically forage on grasses, herbs, and other vegetation in coastal areas, often grazing in small flocks.
