 Naturalization in Belgium
Invasiveness
More on invasiveness: Found in a diversity of wetlands, usually supplied with a belt of trees or shrubs.
Distribution in Belgium
Established populations
Impacts on Species
Impacts on Ecosystems
More on impacts: The Egyptian goose is in strong expansion over the Belgian territory. During the nesting period, it develops an aggressive behaviour leading to nest usurpation and decrease of offspring number in several bird species, namely herons and raptors (nest usurpation of Falco peregrinus is reported from Belgium). Post breeding flocks are responsible for overgrazing and for the alteration of banks and quality of water bodies. It is considered as an agricultural pest in part of its native geographic range.
