Also known as Carolinas or North American Wood Duck, these colourful ducks are among the most popular wildfowl in collections throughout the world. Equally as ornate as the Mandarin, the drake has distinctive green, blue and violet hues on the head, crest and upper body contrasting with buff sides and chestnut chest and rump.
The Wood Duck has a range of calls; the drake being relatively silent save for a quiet ‘tsseeep’ but the duck sometimes makes a squealing call. They tend to perch on stumps and tree branches, with preferred habitats of shallow water and deciduous woodland.
