"During flight, geese can twist their necks to flip their bodies upside down, while keeping their heads upright."
"Known as whiffling, the move is often performed before landing as a means of braking. Upside down wings generate more drag causing a goose to slow down quickly, just like what happens when a plane is inverted during flight." New Scientist TV: Goose flying upside down captured in slow-mo movie
