You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:23 May - 2009 Porkeri 018.jpg|200px|thumb|A Faroese goose family]]
[[File:Image-Porkeri 001.jpg|200px|thumb | Goose in defensive position]]
The '''Faroese goose''' ('''Føroyska Gásin''' in [[Faroese language|Faroese]]) is probably the oldest form of tame [[goose]] in [[Europe]] and possibly the direct descendants of the tame geese that the [[Landnámabók|Landnám]] folk brought from [[Scandinavia]] and the [[United Kingdom|British Isles]].
 
Since the [[Faroe Islands]] have no native predators that are capable of killing the geese, a special "goose culture" has developed in the Faroe Islands, which has no equivalent in neighboring countries.
From May to October one can see flocks of geese walking freely in the outfields, where they feed on the short summer grass without any supplementary feeding.

In winter the geese move freely in the cultivated infields of the villages, which in some cases is of such good quality that earlier the geese did not need complementary feed in the winter. In most places, however, caretakers provide supplementary food just before and during egg laying and when snow is on the ground. The properties of today's Faroese geese result from natural selection over centuries, where only the most well-adapted birds reproduced.

== Properties ==
In [[Nordisk Genbank Husdyr]], the breed is described as a "not too large and not at all rough built, but otherwise it must not be refined and neat. Is very hardy and resistant to weather and disease and tolerates a harsh climate. It is hardy, very food-seeking and it has good juicy meat. Is somewhat temperamental, awake and guarding and will preferably be left alone during the breeding season."<ref>((Cite news|url = http://www.nordgen.org/ngdoc/husdyr/ngh-nytt/nghnytt-feb2005-no.pdf|title = Ngh-nyt Nordisk Genbank Husdyr|date = February 2005|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130222141303/http://www.nordgen.org/ngdoc/husdyr/ngh-nytt/nghnytt-feb2005-no.pdf|archive-date = 2013-02-22|url-status = dead))</ref> Further descriptions of the breed's phenotypic court detail: Gase 5–5,5&nbsp;kg, (11-12 lbs) Goose: 4–4,5&nbsp;kg, (8.8-9.9 lbs) Egg weight: 130 grams or 4.5 ounces.

Most of the Faroese geese are slaughtered in December at a weight of 4–5&nbsp;kg or 9-11 pounds. After three to four weeks of fattening the chicks are slaughtered. Earlier, most got lightly salted or wind-dried for winter supplies, and the goose is a [[Christmas]] table favorite.
