The Australian shelduck (Tadorna tadornoides) is a distinctive waterfowl found throughout Australia. Notable features of Australian shelducks include glossy green heads, white chests, and dark brown wings. Males have dark plumage with a chestnut-colored chest, while females are similar but slightly smaller. Both genders have brown and black wings, showing white during flight. Their calls differ, with males honking like geese and females making a higher-pitched “zeek, zeek” sound. These ducks prefer larger wetland areas and dive frequently, especially when young or injured.
