When Asian geese fly at high altitudes (e.g. ,the Himalayas),they breathe thin air where the partial pressure of oxygen is low compared to that at sea level.Which adaption would help the geese efficiently bind oxygen to red blood cells in their lungs when flying at high altitudes?

Hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen would help the Asian geese efficiently bind oxygen to red blood cells in their lungs when flying at high altitudes where the partial pressure of oxygen is low. This adaptation would allow the geese to extract more oxygen from the thin air and use it efficiently in their bodies, enabling them to fly for extended periods at high altitudes.
