The Egyptian Goose, Alopochen aegyptiacus, is a distinctive bird native to sub-Saharan Africa and the Nile Valley. It exhibits striking plumage with a mix of brown, white, and rust colors, and is known for its loud, honking calls. Preferring habitats near water, it can be found in wetlands, lakes, and rivers. The species is monogamous, often seen in pairs or small family groups, and plays a role in controlling aquatic vegetation.

The Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) is native to sub-Saharan Africa and the Nile Valley. It is predominantly found in countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and the Nile River Valley in Egypt. The species has also been introduced and established in parts of Western Europe, including the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

The Egyptian Goose typically inhabits wetlands, including rivers, lakes, and marshes. It prefers open water with nearby grasslands or agricultural fields for grazing. The species is also found in savannahs and open woodlands near water sources. In urban areas, they can adapt to parks and golf courses.

Egyptian Geese are primarily herbivorous, feeding on grasses, seeds, and leaves. They play a role in controlling vegetation growth around water bodies. During breeding, they may become more territorial and aggressive, particularly in areas with dense populations. Their adaptability to various wetland and grassland environments allows them to exploit a range of ecological niches across their native and introduced ranges.
