This bird or goose seems to have entrenched itself all over the world… this might have been because it was taken to places it not normally habituates…. But one thing is for sure it is pretty well entrenched all over Africa…
This goose is not loved by all, very few in fact, but shame I thought I’d give it a little publicity…
And some little ones….
Clean up time…
What is up there.?????????
One of its enemies…..!!!!
The Fish Eagle…..
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
You know, Rob, I’ve never heard of a Fish Eagle or an Egyptian Goose. I am introduced to so many new creatures by way of your shares! I love the aerial photo with the water droplets. That’s a keeper! 🙂
Thanks Debra… our fish eagle is so similar to your bald eagle… thank you for the kind words…
They look gorgeous in the water. 🙂
Thanks Imelda…
I’ve been chased by an angry goose, Rob. But I love the pics – they’re cuter at a distance! 😀
Thanks Dianne… these aren’t aggressive… but they are “cows of the sky” as Joanne calls them… all they do is eat and poop…
The goslings are so cute!
Thanks Genie..
Geese are definitely not our favorites here, but my little one says the pink legs makes up for the rest. 🙂 Awesome shots, Bulldog!
Thanks Skye…
Interesting, I have not seen this fellow before and we have a real variety in my part of the country. The little guys are really cute.
Thanks Charlie…
It sounds like a goose is a goose regardless of whether it’s Egyptian or Canadian. I heard them described once as Flying Cows because all they do is eat and poop … a lot …. everywhere.
Now that description I will never forget… cows of the sky…
I know!!! It stuck with me too. I’ve never looked at a goose quite the same way since.
I’ve only seen Canadian Geese. And – they leave poop all over my back yard if given the chance…
RoSy…. these would just add to it….
In effetti non è molto bella questa oca, però non capisco perché non sia amata, è pur sempre un animale e come tale deve essere amato. Troppo facile amare solo i belli 🙂
Ciao, Patrizia
Thank you Pat… you are right we should love it… I just don’t love its poop…
Great photos o these geese. They wouldn’t win any beauty competitions, but the babies are cute. 🙂
Thanks AD… the young of any thing wild is cute…
The funnies looking bird 🙂 I would be among those that love it 🙂 Cool captures, Rob 🙂
Thanks Paula… I suppose I don’t hate the bird as much as I hate its poop…
I’ve never seen one of these! I love the ones crossing the river. 🙂
Thanks Laura…
you’re welcome 🙂
The first time I saw an Egyptian Goose was last winter in Texas. Hubby and I had to Google to figure out what it was. Always love seeing little ones 🙂
Thanks Ingrid…
I have seen none of these type of geese in Colchester in the UK, the Canada Geese occasionally make an appearance.
I’m surprised Alex as it has made it to your island…
I haven’t seen this one around here. Interesting looking though.
I’m surprised according to records it is now on every continent…
I don’t know the Egyptian Goose, so thanks for introducing us. 😉 Great captures once again, I especially like the ones with the babies. 🙂
Thanks Jewels… I thought this bird had spread itself all over the world by now…
Love the babes on the water. Always fascinating to watch wildlife with their young.
Thanks LuAnn… they are very protective parents and will even attack their own sort when the young are around…
Why is this bird not liked bulldog? Great shots, as per usual!
Diana xo
It is the damage they do on Golf Courses that makes most of us hate them… but they also tend to dominate the ponds displacing the other ducks smaller than them…
For a moment I thought he was giving you the side eye LOL Great shots.
Thanks Teri…
Why is it not loved? It’s a pretty bird and unless it uninvitedly took over your water feature, what could it do to annoy anyone?
Haha, never mind…just saw your golf course comments. 😉
I need say no more… lol
babies so lovely 🙂 amazing photographs. Thank you dear Rob, have a nice day, love, nia
Thanks Nia…
Love the one in the water…and the babies of course! Geese aren’t my favourite either but your photographs make them look really sweet 🙂
Thanks Sherri… not my favourites, but shame need to give them a break…
🙂
I’m sure we have these in Britain. The little ones are cute whether or not liked when older. Geese can leave a real mess though where they congregate in large numbers as I witnessed yesterday on local parkland.
They are pretty well hated on golf courses due to their spreading of foreign grasses on greens where they love to congregate.. Here they are especially prevalent spreaders of Poa Annua grasses, definitely not wanted on bent or any other of our SA greens grasses… and there is nothing worse than getting on the green for two to discover a big turd drop directly on your line… you can remove it but it still sticks to your ball…
We love the Egyptian goose. He has a unique sound and hisses like me. This year we have more of them than before, so the population is spreading here too. As always beautiful photos and captions. Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂
Thank you… I wouldn’t mind them at all if they just stayed off the golf course where they tend to do their business on the greens and spread so many foreign grass seed
Nice collections of pictures. Very nicely captured. (Suzanne)
Thank you so much…
I think they are quite sweet! … with their red legs….
Thanks Ute… they do tend to take over and are actually a pest on golf courses… so they do get a bit of hate thrown their way…
Well at least with their red legs, they cannot be mistaken for a golfball… hehe… do people eat them? I mean like chickens?
I believe there are those that partake of their meat… I certainly wouldn’t…. not unless starving…
aw it’s lovely – the chicks super cute. I like the dark around the eye – makes it look more interesting. Agree with Anneli perhaps it is the pink legs – when you first see it, but it is actually quite lovely. Gets my vote!
It is also in NZ I believe having been taken there as pets and escaped… beware they don’t take over the North Island…
Not liked? really? I think it’s very cute and goosey!
They are very common here and I think that is what is their downfall… get a bit of a bum rap actually…
Maybe it’s the pink legs that make it look a bit funny, but once it’s in the water, it looks pretty good. Wonder why it’s not loved….
It tends to take over here and is a bit on the messy side… but I think the biggest thing is it seems so common and where ever you go they are there….
Sounds a bit like our Canada goose.
Hi Rob ~ I have not been on WP regularly and have missed your great images with fun commentary. Love the little ones!
Hi been missing you in these parts… being on and off myself it is a bit difficult remembering whose where… but nice to see you here…
