| | Natural history of Wildfowl Waterfowl Ducks Geese |
| | One unusual but very important feature of the natural history of wildfowl is the manner in which they moult their plumage. | | | Most other families of birds undergo a gradual moult during which the flight feathers are shed and replaced gradually over a protracted period. | | | This characteristic tends to be slightly less striking in the diving duck and even less so in the sea duck species but, nevertheless, it is not difficult to tell the sex of adult birds during the winter and spring. |
