Description
The Mallard or Wild Duck is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. This duck belongs to the subfamily Anatinae of the waterfowl family Anatidae. The male birds(drakes) have a glossy green head and are grey on wings and belly, while the females have mainly brown-speckled plumage. Mallards live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are gregarious. This species is the ancestor of most breeds of domestic ducks. Isola Madre, Italy. The island is renowned not only for the spectacular blossoming of azaleas but also for its Botanical Gardens that house rare plant species, which originate from all over the world. Maple trees, banana trees, camellias, eucalyptus, and palm trees happily coexist in the garden. The different parts of the garden each have their own toponimy, which helps guests during their visit. This is the largest of the Borromeo Islands and it is also the most characteristic due to its collected, tranquil, and enchanted atmosphere. Its gardens, where all manner of peacocks, parrots and pheasants roam freely, are full of rare plants and exotic flowers, helping to create the charm of a tropical land. It still contains, many rare and exotic plant species, which originate from every corner of the globe, and you will also find multicoloured peacocks, parrots, pheasants and roaming freely amongst them.
