What is "waterfowl"?
Waterfowl are a group of birds that are adapted to live in or around water. This group includes ducks, geese, swans, and other related species. Waterfowl have a variety of adaptations that allow them to thrive in their aquatic habitats. They have waterproof feathers, webbed feet for swimming, and specialized bills for feeding on aquatic vegetation, insects, or small fish. Some waterfowl species are migratory and travel long distances to breed and winter in different parts of the world. Waterfowl play important ecological roles in their ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey, and many species are also hunted for sport or food.
