Remember, Egyptian “geese” are actually a kind of shelduck. They should really be called Egyptian shelducks.

Three Egyptian geese on some grass. They’re big shelducks the size of a small goose, in shades of beige and brown, with dark patches around their eyes. They’re spread out and looking at the camera in apparent surprise- these birds always look surprised though.

#TwoDuckTuesday reminds you that #EgyptianGeese are #NotAGoose, they are #Ducks; a sort of #Shelduck. They still get called a #Goose though: I think they should rebrand as #EgyptianDucks

Two Egyptian geese standing on the edge of a river, one sensibly in profile and the other facing the camera with its neck stretched out... perhaps it is about to charge?!
