Among birds of the Anatidae family, this refers to birds that are generally small in body size, have not very long necks, and have different colors for males and females. It is not a taxonomic group. They are waterfowl and are skilled swimmers. They have webbed toes. Nests are built on the ground or in tree holes, and the female lays her down. Only the female incubates the eggs. The chicks are precocial and are covered in fluff when they hatch. There are 35 species in Japan. Many of them migrate as winter birds. Those that mainly live in freshwater include the Mallard, Eastern Spot-billed Duck, Pintail, and Tomoe Duck, while marine species include the Common Tufted Duck, Greater Scaup, and Japanese Squirrel. →Duck hunting→Related topic: Yatsu tidal flats
