Cartão Wildlife Mallard Ducks Photo Sympathy

The Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a very adaptable species, being able to live and even thrive in urban areas. They primarily live in wetlands and eat water plants. They congregate in flocks of varying sizes. The male birds (drakes) have a glossy green head and are grey on their wings and belly, while the females (hens or ducks) have mainly brown-speckled plumage.
