This duck forms strong pair bonds that can last for many breeding seasons.
The Australian Shelduck inhabits wetlands, lakes, rivers, and coastal lagoons across southern Australia and Tasmania. It feeds on grasses, seeds, aquatic plants, and small invertebrates, often grazing on land as comfortably as it swims on water.
A faithful traveler of Australia’s waterways, where lasting partnerships are just as remarkable as graceful flight.
