If you hear a whistle coming from the sky, it may be a flock of fulvous whistling ducks. This cinnamon-colored duck belongs to the so-called “whistling ducks,” and its very name imitates its call. It has long legs and neck and an upright posture, almost like a small goose. And its distribution is surprising: it lives naturally on three continents, in the Americas, in Africa and in India. It is a nocturnal bird: at dusk it goes out to feed in lagoons and rice fields, which have become one of its favorite places. And unlike most ducks, male and female are almost identical and share the work: both incubate the eggs and look after the ducklings. A well-tuned team.
