White-faced Whistling Duck Song & Calls | Dendrocygna viduata | Spectrogram

Listen to the natural song and calls of the White-faced Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna viduata), presented with spectrogram visualization and immersive nature scenery.

Common name: White-faced Whistling Duck
Scientific name: Dendrocygna viduata
Conservation status: Least Concern

Key features: Striking duck with black-and-white head, rufous breast, and barred flanks. Like all whistling-ducks, long neck and legs give it a gooselike appearance.

Diet: More varied than in other whistling-ducks, consisting of vegetable matter (grass, seeds, rice) and also aquatic invertebrates (molluscs, crustaceans, insects); 92% dry weight of crop contents was Ambrosia maritima, Nymphoides indica and Nymphaea seeds and Echinochloa stagnina fruits, in one study in Transvaal, South Africa; stomachs of 14 birds short in Malawi all contained seeds, belonging to five species, especially Paspalidium grasses.

Habitat: Wide variety of wetlands, including some artificial ones, and showing preference for fresh water in open country, but also found at swamps, flooded areas, reservoirs, estuaries and perhaps most especially at rice fields. Sometimes occurs on tiny waterbodies. Recorded to at least 3000 m in Africa (Uganda).
