Brief Summary

You find the mallard ducks almost anywhere where there is calm shallow water. So it's not surprising to find them in the middle of cities. They feed mostly on plants and seeds but also animal matter in the water. In the cities, they eat mostly bread. The Netherlands has lots of mallard ducks. Some years, 400,000 mallards were estimated.

Wilde eenden kun je bijna overal tegenkomen waar rustig, ondiep water is. Dus ook midden in de stad. Met hun snavel filteren ze zaden, plantendeeltjes en waterdiertjes uit het water. In de stad eten ze vooral brood. In Nederland leven veel wilde eenden. Er zijn jaren dat er naar schatting 400.000 broeden.
