Egyptian Goose : Mother and Child

The Egyptian Goose is native to Africa, especially the Nile Valley in Egypt and south of the Sahara desert.
In Western Europe, this bird was introduced in the 18th century with well established feral populations as result.

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

Dutch name : Nijlgans
German name : Nilgans
Latin name : Alopochen aegyptiacus
