Although they are not native to Texas, they are not perceived as a pest. "The territorial nature of Egyptian geese may actually deter colonization
of other species of non-native waterfowl such as giant Canadian geese prone to population explosions in more northerly states. Moreover, Egyptian geese
seem to be living in harmony with a variety of smaller pond ducks, both wild and domestic."
