Egyptian Goose

The Egyptian goose is native to Africa, especially the Nile Valley in Egypt and south of the Sahara desert.

In Western Europe, this species was introduced in the 18th century with well established feral populations as result.

This bird was considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians and appeared in much of their artworks.
