Mallard
| The ubiquitous Mallard has been introduced to New Zealand and since the 1930's its numbers have exploded to an extent where it is now found in almost every corner of the country. The success of this species has closely followed the conversion of New Zealand's large wetlands to highly productive farmland. The brilliant green head of the male and the loud quacking of the female make the Mallard one of the most easily regognisable New Zealand waterfowl. |
