This study compares the food habits of barheaded geese in the Keoladeo National Park in northern India to those of other wetlands in the region. The study aims to examine the yearly and seasonal differences in the food habits of greylag and barheaded geese in the Keoladeo National Park. The study was conducted over the course of one winter season, November 1985 to April 1986, in the Keoladeo National Park, with additional data collected in December 1986 to January 1987. Faecal samples were collected from a total of 100 geese at each study site and were processed to identify plant fragments in order to determine the geese's food habits. The study found that Paspalum distichum, a wetland grass, was the most important food for barheaded geese in the Keoladeo National Park, while in other parts of the region, Cynodon dactylon, another grass species found in drier areas, was more important. For greylag geese in the Keoladeo National Park, Paspalum distichum was the most important food in December 1985, while in the drier December 1986, Eleocharis palustris was the most important food in their diet. The study also found seasonal shifts in the food habits of both greylag and barheaded geese in the Keoladeo National Park. Overall, the study highlights the importance of considering both regional and seasonal differences in the food habits of geese in northern India.
