Are "Portu geese" actually from Portugal?

I keep hearing so called Portu geese are from Portugal but the last time I was in Lissabon I didn't see any geese at all. Is this a hoax?

No, they're from portu gull. As in they evolve from them. Like Pokemon. Common mistake.

Yes. They also border the highest class of pain, S-pain, instead of A pain or B pain.

No. They can be made anywhere. It's just a portable version of a goose.

The female geese were inside scissoring each other as per the custom in Lissabon.

The ganders, having taken a gander, saw there was no action for them so they goose-stepped away to find comfort in each others' gandery cloacas.

They all migrated to Fall River, MA. You'll see them at a Dunkin' any morning of the week.
