paradise shelduck

The paradise shelduck (''Tadorna variegata'') is a large goose-like duck endemic to New Zealand.〔(Paradise Shelducks ) TheFeatherSite.com. Retrieved on January 2, 2008〕 It is a shelduck, a group of large goose-like birds which are part of the bird family Anatidae. The genus name ''Tadorna'' comes from Celtic roots and means "pied waterfowl".
Known to the Māori as pūtangitangi, but now commonly referred to as the "paradise duck", it is a prized game bird. Both the male and female have striking plumage: the male has a black head and barred black body, the female a white head with a chestnut body.〔
The paradise shelducks usually live as pairs,〔 grazing on grass and weeds, and will raid crops, particularly when molting.
==Breeding==
Paradise shelducks form long-term pair bonds, often lasting for life, and defend territories. They have a long breeding season, lasting from August through December.〔 They reach sexual maturity after two years, and build nests lined with grass and feathers hidden in high grass, inside hollow trees, on branches of habitable trees (i.e. Marcrocarpa), or beneath rotting logs. The mean clutch size is around nine eggs. Chicks fledge after eight weeks.
