My daughter raises geese, and she thinks it is either an African Goose, or a Toulouse Goose, or a cross between the two. She thinks that this bird more closely resembles the African Goose (black bill, black knob, dark gray wings, wattle are all typical of the African Goose, she says). Mira M.

The Mute Swan was getting fed bread from a bunch of kids. I also saw a bird that looked like it was a cross of the Mute Swan and something else. It has a basal knob, the size and shape of a goose, and a wattle. I have put some picture links below.
