These eye-catching birds have an iridescent green head, a white collar, and a chestnut-brown chest. Their wings are speckled with blue and white, and they have a yellowish-orange bill with black markings. And the most fun part? The males and females look different - the males are the ones with the shiny green heads, while the females are a speckled brown all over.  \nNow that we know how they look, let's explore where these colourful birds live. Mallards can be found in a wide variety of habitats all over the world, including parks, small ponds, rivers, lakes and even in urban areas. These adaptable ducks don't mind where they live, as long as there's water and plenty of food. Speaking of food, they eat a wide variety of things like insects, worms, grass, and even small fish!  \nFrom their homes and diets, let's move on to the life of a mallard. These birds have a fascinating life cycle that starts when a female lays her eggs in a nest she's built near water. After about a month, the baby ducklings hatch, and they can leave the nest just a few hours after hatching! In just two months, those little ducklings grow up and learn to fly, starting their own journey as mallards.  \nMallards have interesting relationships with humans and other animals. People often enjoy feeding them in parks, but it's important to remember that bread isn't good for them! With other animals, they often share their habitats peacefully, but they're also known to play tricks on predators like foxes and hawks by pretending to be injured to lead them away from their nests.
