First, the appearance and habitat of the black water chicken

The adult birds of the black water chicken are similar in both sexes, but the female birds are slightly smaller. Their foreheads are bright red and their tops are round. The head and neck, as well as the upper back, are gray-black, while the lower back and waist to tail are feathered and the wings are dark olive brown. The feathers on the wings are dark brown, and the outer limb of the first primary flying feather is white.

It has a sharp mouth, too. The tip of the mouth is yellow, the rest is red, and his feet are yellow-green. It looks very nice. When he swims, his tail will tilt up and his body will show a large part of the water. Half of it lives in quite fresh water lakes, wetlands, reed ponds, swamps, reservoirs, canals and paddy fields rich in reeds and aquatic life.

Second, the living habits of black pheasants

Black pheasants, like most birds, will migrate, with summer migratory birds in the north of the Yangtze River and resident birds in the south. Black water chickens don't like to live in groups, and they are very good at swimming and diving, and their water quality is also very good. If they meet people, they will immediately swim into reeds or grass to hide themselves.

they only fly far away unless they are in danger, or they usually fly on the water. They usually like to eat tender leaves and buds of plants, soft animals, insects and snails.
