Green head ducks, also known as mallards, are a species of dabbling ducks found in North America, Eurasia, and parts of Africa. They are medium-sized ducks with a body length of 50-65 cm and a wingspan of 81-98 cm. The males (drakes) have iridescent green heads, a white collar around the neck, a brownish-gray body, and a yellow bill. Females (hens) have a mottled brownish-gray body with an orange bill.
Green head ducks are omnivores and feed on a variety of aquatic plants, insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. They are also known to forage for food in agricultural fields and urban areas. They are considered a game bird and are hunted for their meat and feathers. Green head ducks are generally monogamous and form pairs during the breeding season. They mate in the spring and lay eggs in nests on the ground near water.
Green head ducks are adaptable and can live in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, ponds, lakes, and rivers. They are a common sight in urban parks and suburban areas. They are not considered a threatened species, and their population is stable.
