The Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is an African member of the Anatidae family including ducks, geese, and swans. Because of its popularity chiefly as an ornamental bird, the species has also been introduced to Europe, the United States, and elsewhere outside its natural range. Egyptian geese were regularly represented in ancient Egyptian art. Wikipedia →
