Egyptian Goose
Alopochen aegyptiaca
Native to Africa, this species has become invasive in Europe. Originally introduced as an ornamental bird, it has escaped and now forms self-sustaining populations, particularly in Germany and the Czech Republic. Solitary individuals or small groups occasionally appear in Hungary, with suspected breeding attempts near Vértesszőlős.
