shall we say... Aerodynamically Curvaceous among us?

due to the lower weight and increased air friction

I'd have thought a goose would be more streamlined.

A goose would have a higher terminal velocity.

Glider Minimum Glide Angle
----- -----------------
Albatross 3.0°
Falcon 5.5°
Pigeon 9.5°
oh all right, a lower MASS
the goose would only be more streamlined if it had a completely clean coat of feathers, with none out of place, and it was falling head first with its wings and feet tucked in, and its neck straight.
i would say human terminal velocity is higher

which showed that a feather and a hammer fall at the same rate without air resistance.
edit: as for the air resistance of a goose and a human, I don't really know.
