Flying Duck Picture
A flying duck picture is interesting, however, some people like to look at chicks in the aviaries.
As a rule, male birds have a striking appearance; thus they are brightly colored. Females, on the contrary, are dull in appearance. The female bird has gray and brown features. Bright coloration is very important for males and serves as indication of their physical condition. The coloration attracts females during the breeding season. Other courtship displays include head and wing movements, vocalizations and specific swimming patterns. Bright coloration may be lethal for females. It attracts predators during the nesting period and can lead to the damage of the newly hatched birds.

chicks, aviaries
Most species of these birds are considered seasonally monogamous. Mates change from year to year in some species, or may be maintained for multiple years in other species. 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 the mother for 5-10 weeks until they fledge. Some species are aggressively territorial; others are colonial nesters. Flocks and colonies range in size from several dozen to over a hundred pairs. A flying duck picture is interesting, however, some people like to look at chicks in the aviaries.
