Population Distribution

The green-headed duck (Mallard; a typical drilled waterbuck) is the ancestor of most of the domestic ducks (see Fowl [Fowl] article), is one of the most popular hunting birds.

Mallards fly from the south to the north in the spring to lay their eggs, and then fly south again in the fall to overwinter. They lost their migratory flight when they were domesticated by humans, and people did not let them stop laying to hold their eggs in order to get more. Over time, domestic ducks have lost the ability to hatch eggs. Distribution worldwide, mainly in inland waters, most common in the northern hemisphere temperate regions.
