canada goose question: what does standing on one leg and extending the opposite wing out mean

[nathanielfirst]

This male bird deliberately did this when I was talking to him- right side leg off the ground and the same right wing extended out, off the body, other side standing and relaxed. Does anyone know?

Seems he was just stretching. He must have felt safe around you. My goose does it when she relaxes. I call it goose tai chi. Did it look like this?

he extended it out, not back, but that's about right

Goose yoga is another name for it.
