Falcated Duck (Anas falcata)
Explanation
The falciform duck is a medium-sized bird and the male is larger than the female. The male is 45 to 55 cm long and weighs 600 to 770 grams. The female weighs from 420 to 700 grams.
The maned head of the rearing male has green grass and metallic iridescence. The throat is white, the under-coverts are buff and black and the tertials are arched and elongated.
Both the female and male moons have a brownish color and a ripe belly. These birds are very loud during the breeding season and the male has a small "tyu-tyu-vit...tyu-vit na hesitant uit-trr". The girl was heartbroken.
Place of residence
The sickle-duck species lives in forests or open ponds, wetlands during the breeding season. Winter ducks are found in wetlands, rivers, streams, wetlands and lakes. They are sometimes found in coastal lakes, wetlands and harbors. Eating habits
A sickle-duck pattern floats in the open water near the emerging grass. They are also seen grazing on grass and crops. They feed on fruits, seaweed, roots, shoots, grains and tubers.
Reproduction
The breeding season for the sickle-duck species is from May to July. During breeding, these types of ducks form two breeding pairs.
Distribution
The sickle-duck species breeds in East Asia, including Russia, China, North Korea, Mongolia, and Japan. They are cold in Central China and Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Ducks are found in Europe and North America. Movement process
The sickle-duck species migrates extensively between breeding grounds in North and East Asia and wintering areas in Central China, Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Conditions and restrictions
It is estimated that the number of sickle-ducks in the world exceeds 89,000. The species seems to be descending into southern China in breeding form. Fearing a short-term reduction in speed, these species are treated as 'imminent threats'. Poaching, local wildlife trade, destruction of breeding grounds, mating with other species and hybrid breeding are the main threats.
The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) has identified and evaluated these sickle-duck species and classified them as "near threatened".
