The Wood Duck dazzles with its colorful plumage, showcasing a stunning array of iridescent green, purple, and chestnut hues. Its distinctive head is adorned with bold white stripes and a metallic sheen, while its red eyes add to its striking visage. Both males and females exhibit captivating patterns, though males boast more elaborate and colorful markings.
These ducks favor wooded wetlands, swamps, and marshes, where they nest in tree cavities or artificial nesting boxes. They feed on a diverse diet of seeds, fruits, insects, and aquatic vegetation, often dabbling in shallow water or perching on branches overhanging the water.
Ducks will be 8 months to 1.5 years old when shipped.
