Egyptian Goose
Alopochen aegyptiaca
A sturdy African waterfowl often seen on lakes, rivers, reservoirs, golf courses, and grassy urban parks. Adults graze on grasses, seeds, crops, and aquatic plants, with occasional small invertebrates supplementing the diet. Pairs are notably territorial and may hiss, charge, wing-slap, or strike with small wing spurs when defending nesting sites.
