Abstract
The Pinkfoot no longer subsists on a ‘natural’ food resource when in winter quarters, and few Greylags do, especially in Britain. Both take mainly grasses and cereal harvest-waste, but differences in size of bill and gizzard, and in roosting and fighting behaviour, tend to reduce interspecific competition.Keywords
