Duck Head Red
Duck head red pictures contrast with other colors; these creatures aren't fit for an aviary.
Coloration differences between sexes are very striking in mallards and other species. It is very easy to distinguish a male from a female by feather coloration. However, mallards are not the most brightly colored birds. Wood birds are considered one of the most wonderful sights of the bird world. These birds are a real attraction in the wild. Coloration also differs depending on the age of the animal. Immature birds tend to have a duller coloration. Males are likely to have greater changes in plumage. The breeding plumage is also referred to as eclipse. Female birds have less visible plumage changes.

Duck Head Red -
pictures, aviary
In most species, females construct the nest while the males defend the feeding territory. Males also accompany the young and provide predator protection. In some species, males leave the females right after mating. Ducklings stay with their mother for 5-10 weeks. Most species of these birds are considered seasonally monogamous. Mates change from year to year or may be maintained for multiple years. Some species are aggressively territorial; others are colonial. Flocks and colonies range in size from several dozen to over a hundred pairs depending on the species and on the area.
