Dabbling Ducks: Species that feed on the water's surface or tip their bodies to reach underwater plants. Diving Ducks: Ducks that dive below the water's surface to find food. Perching Ducks: Ducks that have the ability to perch in trees, such as the Wood Duck. Domestic Ducks: Breeds that have been domesticated for agriculture, like the Pekin duck. Wild Ducks: Species that live in the wild, such as the Mallard. Sea Ducks: Ducks that primarily inhabit coastal and marine environments.
