An odd-looking bird...

After spotting these bizarre birds on campus, in the Company Gardens in Downtown Cape Town and in other random places, I just finally looked up the species: Egyptian Goose. From my experiences with them, the Egyptian Goose is an interesting animal that tends to stand and observe, and quacks a unique noise quite sparingly. Apparently, it's the "most commonly encountered waterfowl" in Southern Africa, which makes sense since I see them all of the time.
