Waterfowl

The Common or Atlantic Puffin ( Fratercula artica ) is a rather small sea bird that spends most of its time at sea in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. The only time it comes ashore is to breed and raise a chick. These are the only puffins that occur in the Atlantic. There are others that occur in the Pacific. They live with many brothers ad sistes they can oly live with others and if the area is safe with plenty of sea and nesting places they call it home.

An Albatross can fly for a year without stopping.

The Albatross has the largest wingspan of any bird. because of its huge wings, the albatross can glide for months on ocean winds without landing. This giant bird soars through the air at about 25 miles per hour (40kph). It can even sleep while flying

Mallards are just a breed of ducks so......

duckling!

A duck doesn't actually need its mother. You can buy baby ducks that are 1 day old at markets. A baby duck doesn't get milk from its mother or some type of food from its mother, a baby duck just needs its mom to find food for it and protect it from danger. You can actually raise a baby duck from 1 day old to 2 weeks and even 5 weeks old without its mother.

The Great Blue Heron eats by catching its food, common prey is fish, frogs, and small mammals, then it eats it by swallowing its prey.

The baby grows in the mom's womb (woom) until it is ready to be born.

The baby is born by leaving the womb inside of a muscular tube called the birth canal. The birth canal is normally closed along its length, but has the astounding ability to stretch big enough for an entire baby to go through it. After that, the birth canal closes back down to its normal size. The birth canal opening to the outside is located directly between the mom's legs, between the peeing and pooping parts.

Waders refer to birds that have specialized in picking out small invertebrates from mud, wet soil or shallow water. These birds have long legs and long, sensitive bills in order to catch their food.

There are many wading birds, such as the Egret, Heron, Sandpiper, Curlew, Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Ringed Plover.

Only one species of gamebird in the entire world is migratory - the Eurasian migratory quail - coturnix coturnix.

Beatles, worms, and a lot more, grasshoppers....

The largest domestic duck breed is widely considered the Muscovy Duck. The can get up to 15lbs and were introduced into Europe in the 1500s. They originated from Central and South America. The ducks are also considered rather aggresive

Canada geese are primarily herbivores,although they sometimes eat small insects and fish.

Whooping cranes are the tallest bird in North America - around five feet tall.

The eggs will remain viable for up to 7 days in cool damp conditions. After that 7 day period the hatch rate will decrease by up to 20% per day

There could also be a large puddle on the roof, and of course, fox and coyote cannot get up there to kill her...she may be taking up residence up there. It's definately safer than a pond. But don't take my answer to be the absolute truth. Go up there ASAP and make sure she is not injured. If she is, call your nearest wildlife rehabilitator.

On average, a common loon can hold its breath for about 50 second. They can, however, dive much longer if needed.

In the wild they live up to 17 years. This is according to National Geographic.

they eat bay grass and they usually eat eight pounds a day

Most species of gosling eat a mix of insects and the growing tips of plants, both being good sources of protein that is essential for growth. Like their parents, they have serrated edges to their beaks that act like tiny saws and make snipping off pieces of vegetation very easy.

Buy one or find one in a swamp that just "happened" to be there and put it in a incubator and hatch it.

It is supossed to be a practical joke played by someone you know. It ussualy symbolises a birthday or something like that.

That might depend upon which species or individual you are thinking of, but the bird with the largest wingspan in the world is the Wandering Albatross at 12 feet. The Golden Eagle has the largest wingspan among eagles at 8.2 feet.

With our mallard duck it took him about 7-8 months before he got the real pretty green head on him, but now he is about a little over a year old and he is starting to change color again, his head is just a little green with dark gray in it and he has more darker gray in his body, but he is still very pretty.

A Female Trumpeter Swan is also called a Hen. The Male Is Called a Cob.

Extinction is caused by both.

If there is a natural disaster, it can wipe out whole species. For example, climate changes such as the end of the ice age. There were some mammals that evolved into animals we know today and there were some that could not evolve fast enough and did not survive.

Man can cause extinction by over-hunting animals or destroying their habitats.

For example, the Dodo was a flightless, defensive bird which stood no chance when man colonised their island.
