Egyptian Geese

Egyptian Geese are actually duscks and not geese at all. Their babies are called ducklings (as they are not actually geese). They got their name from the honk-like quack the females make. The males make a quieter sound. They are territorial to other Egyptian geese and some other flying birds, and will drive them into the sky and fight them airborne (like bombers). A pair will mate for life and can make their nest anywhere but prefer above ground.

I have a pair that showed up at my place and have been living peacefully alongside my flock of 7 ducks for about 5 months now. They have shown zero agression towards my ducks and I have 2 males. They swim and eat alongside my ducks but will not come near if people are present. Today the lady laid an egg out in the open so I snagged it before the resident fox could. We are located south of San Antonio Texas.
