The Barnacle goose has a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on them. During the flight, a V-shaped white rump patch and the silver-gray underwing linings are visible.
Barnacle geese are gregarious birds; they nest, feed, and migrate in large flocks. They are active during the day spending most of the time foraging above-ground. Barnacle geese molt after nesting; during this time they can't fly and stay in protected areas such as lakes or at sea in order to avoid predators. After the molting period, birds usually congregate at the gathering sites, where they feed before the migration to their wintering grounds.

Bar-headed geese are seasonal breeders. They exhibit a monogamous mating system, where males pair with one single female for several years. During times when the population is biased towards females a polygynous system is adopted where a monogamous pair may be joined by multiple secondary females. These secondary females also breed with the male of the pair. Because they breed in large colonies, females defend their nests from socially lower females that may be using brood parasitism to increase the likely hood of their offspring's survival.
