Fulvous whistling ducks are one of the most widespread ducks in the world. They live on four continents, South and North America, Africa, and Asia. These ducks live in freshwater marshes with tall grasses and vegetation.
They forage, often at night, eating mainly seeds from aquatic plants. As you might have guessed by the name these ducks make loud whistling calls.
Unlike most duck species the male whistling duck helps take care of the offspring and mated pairs stay bonded for many years.
Currently, their population is stable. But threats still exist including pesticides, hunting, and wetlands habitat destruction.
