Australian Wood Duck female Aka Maned Duck

            This photograph is of the female Maned Duck also called Australian Wood Duck.

As I noted in the photo of the male these ducks are interesting in that they look like and share several characteristics of geese.

Taxonomically, the Australian Wood Duck belongs to its own genus, Chenonetta, which translates to “goose-duck” in Greek. This unique classification reflects its intermediate position between typical ducks and geese. While it’s more closely related to ducks, its behavior and some physical characteristics have led to the alternative name “Maned Goose.”

The diet consists primarily of grasses, grains, clover, other herbs, and occasionally insects.
