These birds are admired for their distinctive coloring: the males boast iridescent green heads, while the females feature a mottled brown aesthetic. Mallards are adaptable, often found in various freshwater environments, and are a prevalent species in both wild and urban habitats. As dabbling ducks, they feed mainly on the water's surface, foraging for plants and small animals. This adaptability, along with their ease around humans, has made them prominent figures in many cultural depictions of wildlife.
