RAZZ corrected me off-list.

The SA does require a mesorah in addition to the simanim (YD 82:2,
citing Rambam Ma'akhalos Asuros 1:14, which lists the birds).

He makes one exception (se'if 3), yeish omerim that any bird that has a
broad beak and a wide foot like a goose and the three simanim is known
not to be a doreis.

To which the Rama says and yeish omerim not, .... vekhein nohagim ve'ein
leshanos.

But the SA's exemption from mesorah is very specific, requiring more
simanim that make it gooselike.

Tir'u baTov!
