After taking a good look at the tongue of a Canadian Goose I sure wouldn't want to be licked by one!! Hairs and spikes on the duck/goose tongue act like a sieve, allowing the bird to filter food particles from the water, somewhat like a baleen whale. The tongue can also be used to grip food: geese eating grass hold onto the grass by pressing it between the tongue and the top of the mouth.
