Nothing they are protected under the Migratory Bird Act; came from Costa Rica region. 3ft tall wingspan 46 inches, weigh maybe 5-8 pounds. Not a duck but a land bird; called a water turkey because of the way they dry their wings and called a snake bird because when they swim only the neck sticks out. Feed in packs and is a very good hunter, swallow prey whole head first. In US mostly Florida region.
