not sure why this goose has feathers like this. Looks like a Sebastopol Goose, a big ball of fluff.
What makes the Sebastopol so unique are its curly feathers, giving it
that “curly perm” look. The frizzled feathers are the result of a
genetic mutation and curl due to the lack of a rigid feather spine or
quill. The feathers curl downwards and are up to four times the length
of the feathers found in other geese.

Some parents were unhappy for their kids to learn it. They say it is too violent. They said we shouldn't be teaching our kids about kicking so and so the stairs.
Goosey goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady's chamber.
There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs
