おもしろい事実

Female black ducks often reuse the very same nesting spot year after year!

Their dark feathers help them stay warm by absorbing more sunlight in cold weather!

They can cross-breed with Mallards, creating unique "hybrid" ducklings!

Unlike many birds, they only shed their flight feathers once a year, usually in summer!
