This is one that @Miss Lydia found the other day.

This bit I found very interesting:
It is more common in geese and typically in either the left wing or both wings, only rarely in the right wing only. Males develop it more than females. The birds that develop the problem are perfectly healthy, they are just not as beautiful.

Why more in males?
Why is the left wing, both wings, but rarely the right?

This is a good one too:
