American Wood Duck Pairs
American Wood Ducks are known to be one of the most beautiful duck breeds in North America. During the fall to summer months, males exhibit rich iridescent plumage and make them a very popular breed to have on the property.
Wood Ducks can be found in all varieties of freshwater wetlands throughout the country and are the second most hunted duck following the
Wild Mallard.
Wood Ducks are relatively small birds that fly easily, and they are one of the only duck breeds to nest in trees.
Wood Ducks are short-distance migratory birds and tend to winter in slightly warmer climates, though it is thought that a good percentage of
Wood Ducks in the Pacific North West region are non-migratory. If you are looking for a larger flightless bird, we recommend the
Rouen, which is too large to fly and will not migrate.
It is important to note that these
Wood Ducks will be delivered as
juvenile pairs. The female will start laying this season.
It is best to only order these beautifully colored grown ducks if you will be able to provide an environment similar to its natural wild habitat. Areas with closely accessible wetlands or properties with slow moving creeks or rivers are best.
