Florida is famous for its beaches and hot vacation spots. This place doesn’t just attract people from different parts of the world. Birds are spotted flocking to Florida whenever their migrating season comes.
These birds are one of the oldest wild waterfowl that have been domesticated by humans. They are characterized by their iridescent black plumage, white feathers covering their head, neck, and breast, yellow feet, pink bills, and yellowish-brown eyes.
They are wild breeds that inhabit slow-moving and shallow water bodies like ponds, lakes, swamps, and marshes. These ducks feed on plants, seeds, grains, nuts, small insects, and crustaceans.
In Florida, they are mostly found near the central region. They dabble and probe in the shallow water to feed on aquatic plants, insects, frogs, tadpoles, crustaceans, and mollusks.
They inhabit freshwater regions, ponds, marshes, rice fields, and prairies. Unlike some species, these ducks rarely migrate and prefer to live in just one place.
