When walking at one of our community parks, we saw several kinds of birds. There was one particularly strange-looking goose.
Fig 01 - The Egyptian Goose
Look very cool, we have never seen a goose that looks like that. After googling, it is said that the critter is an Egyptian Goose, origin from Africa.
Since this critter is not our native one, we believe the birds might be:
- ornamental pets, then escaped from nearby owners of our community park.
- migration from our neighbor state, Texas.
In case of Texas, population of Egyptian Goose is quite abundant, because the bird is good in adaptation to state warm climate and there are fewer natural predators, especially in urban landscapes.

We saw another migration duck, a whistling duck. They came from Mexico for breeding in our areas.

Have you seen Egyptian geese in your areas?

ReplyDeleteI have never seen an Egyptian goose here in Montreal, Canada. I have seen a Chinese goose, though. They are small, and sometimes the male can be very protective of his mate and will attack anyone who comes to close. LOL! Your photos are lovely. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI see.....

The Egyptian goose has been visiting the Czech Republic since the 1970's, and in 2008, for the first time, nesting was observed here. Since then it has been nesting especially in northern Bohemia, and now it can be found in every region of this country - anywhere where there are significant areas of water. It's considered an invasive species here. I cannot deny however that the bird has spectacular looks. Lovely photo!
ReplyDeletesurprising..... the birds migrate to your country.

No Egyptian Geese in our area that I know of. I suppose it's possible that there could be some down at the lake. I'll be on the lookout.. They are very neat.
ReplyDeleteTexas and Florida have a great number of these Egyptian geese...

No Egyptian Geese in Australia (this is probably a good thing!) but I have seen them in the UK.
