Quack Quack

This is another picture from the French-German garden. They have many ducks and other water birds as well as those funny-looking geese there. They have huge, bulky beaks, a long brown stripe on their neck and the coolest bright orange feet. I tried to find the name of that species, but couldn't find it yet... maybe one of you knows what they're called?

Sweet!! That's an African Goose, see http://www.centralpets.com/animals/birds/domestic_birds/dbd4866.html

Must be a female, as males have pronounced wattles.

I love feathered animals but geese scare me sometimes. I guess it's because one chased me when I was a child.
