Waterfowl

Waterfowl are birds that are specially adapted to live on or around aquatic environments like lakes, rivers, and wetlands. They include species such as ducks, geese, and swans. These birds typically have features like webbed feet for swimming, waterproof feathers to stay dry, and bills suited for filtering food from water or mud. Waterfowl play important roles in their ecosystems by helping with seed dispersal and controlling aquatic insect populations. They are also valued for recreation, birdwatching, and cultural significance in many societies.
