The bar-headed goose belongs to the Anatidae family. Primarily found in Central Asia, the barheaded goose moves towards Tibet, Mongolia, and Western China during summer months for breeding. They are known for undertaking one of the most challenging migrations, flying over the towering peaks of the Himalayas in order to reach their breeding region in Central Asia and wintering sites in South Asia. They can soar at altitudes of up to 7,000 meters (23,000 feet), enduring low oxygen levels and freezing temperatures.
Symbolising adaptability
Adaptability is not just a mere quality, but a trait one can only have through generations. Migratory birds, the bar-headed goose, prove it every time when they defy limits during their high-altitude flights.
Flying high above the world’s tallest peaks, bar-headed geese endure low oxygen levels and harsh temperatures as they go off from their breeding grounds in Central Asia to their wintering regions in South Asia. It is their haemoglobin with higher affinity for oxygen, allowing much ease even in the altitudes up to 7,000 meters (23,000 feet). Added to this, their powerful flight muscles and large lung capacity enable them to withstand demands of high-altitude flights.
Exemplifying the same spirit of adaptability, we, at PNB Housing Finance, are committed to adjusting our strategies and enhancing our offerings. Being customer-centric, we evolve with customers and their expectations. Adaptability, preparation, and a strong sense of direction enable the Company to turn challenges into opportunities.
