Biology

Diet

Cinnamon Teal are primarily herbivores, and feed by dabbling from the surface. This form of feeding consists of tipping up in shallow water or probing the mud to attain food. Their diet consists of seeds from bulrushes, pond weeds , and horn weeds. They also partake in small amounts of mollusks, beetles, fly larvae, and damsel flies.

Reproduction

• Breeding Habitat : Wetland-open water
• Clutch Size: 4-16
• Length of Incubation : 21-25 days
• Days to Fledge : 49
• Number of Broods: 1

Migration

Migratory

Behavior

This species generally can be found in small flocks, made up of paired birds. Pair bonding takes place in the wintering area, and is renewed each year. The flocks increase in size during the spring migration, where upwards of twenty birds in each group can be seen. During mating season , courtship starts with mutual head bobbing between paired birds. The bills are either level or in a slight downward position. Next the male will utter a loud sound , and become motionless; he will either be parallel or facing the female during these few seconds. Once copulation is complete , the male will swim away with his head turned around facing the female.
