Description
Boasting a markedly twisted and curved beak, the hook Bill Duck emanates a distinct physical aesthetic. With an intriguing propensity for herbaceous diets, they are primarily vegetarians, shunning the piscivorous preference of most ducks. Remarkably, they sport an array of vibrant plumages, a unique visual feast in the world of domestic ducks.
