Egyptian goose
The Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is a large waterfowl native to Africa. It is easily recognized by its distinctive brown and gray plumage, striking facial markings, and long neck. These geese are often found near lakes, rivers, and wetlands, where they feed on grasses, seeds, and grains.
Egyptian geese are social birds that typically form small flocks. They are known for their loud honking calls and can be quite vocal, especially during the breeding season. These geese are also notable for their strong pair bonds, often mating for life and raising their young together.
