waterbirds

Waterbirds are a group of bird species that live in or around aquatic environments like lakes, rivers, and wetlands. They are adapted to thrive in water, with features such as webbed feet for swimming, waterproof feathers, and long beaks for catching fish or insects. Examples include ducks, herons, swans, and gulls. Waterbirds play important roles in ecosystems, such as controlling insect populations, spreading nutrients, and supporting biodiversity. They often migrate seasonally to find food and breeding sites, highlighting their adaptability and their vital connection to aquatic habitats.
