This duck forms lifelong pair bonds and often returns to the same breeding areas year after year.
The Australian Shelduck inhabits lakes, rivers, wetlands, and coastal lagoons across southern Australia and Tasmania. Comfortable on both land and water, it grazes on grasses, seeds, aquatic plants, and small invertebrates while nesting in tree hollows, burrows, or rocky crevices.
A loyal traveler of Australia’s waterways, proving that enduring partnerships are one of nature’s greatest strengths.
