    Egyptian Goose?

    I wasn't sure what forum to post this to.  I'm just wondering - is the Egyptian Goose considered a "domestic" breed?  In other words, would it qualify for my Life List?  I don't see it on the website but probably because it's not native to North America?

     **P.S.  These birds were not at a zoo or someone's backyard; they were at a park, along with Canada Geese, Mallards, and Ruddy Ducks.  Also, there were quite a few - about 20-30.

    Thanks - actually, I have since researched this further, and they are in the North American Birds guide (from National Geographic) under category of "Exotic" but still considered "wild" bird.  Anyway, I'm including them on my list, as they were out in the wild!
