No, they aren't. They don't nurse, bear live young or have any other of the scientific requirements of mammalian life.

I think you actually are thinking of Muscovies. They are native to Latin America, so maybe that;s where you got the Spanish from?
I got this from Wiki:
Muscovy Ducks are reportedly cross-bred in Israel with Mallards to produce kosher duck products.

I knew Moulard was considered kosher but I raise Muscovy for meat and they don't taste anything like pork. I guess it's possible that the cross to mallard-type gives it that flavor.

Chief Rabbi of Israel wouldn't have any way to know whether it tastes like pork, or not.

I am intrigued to hear if anyone else knows what this may be. I have had Muscovy MANY times & have never thought it tastes like pork. The Spanish are doing some crazy things with food, and have wonderful traditions around food that are very rich but not widely discussed outside of Spain. It could very well be a particular breed of goose, fed a specialized diet.

You could try calling a Hallal Market & asking them if they carry Kosher Proscuitto, and if so, what it is made of.​

It just says "organic goose". I would wager it is the rearing methodology, not the breed, that has gained the meat notoriety. Besides, "tastes like pork" is highly subjective. Tastes like what kind of pork? There are wide variances in the taste of pork depending on the rearing methodology and breed of pig.

When I was a kid and when our mom would cook something questionable, rabbit etc, she would always tell us it was chicken, even though it never tasted like chickens.
