Feeding Habits
Brazilian Teal consumes a varied diet including fruits, roots, and seeds of plants like Sagittaria and Panicum, as well as invertebrates such as Coleoptera. In Venezuela, aquatic plants dominate their diet across seasons, with a slight increase in animal material consumption as habitats diminish during the dry season. Brazilian Teal forages in pairs or small groups.
Habitat
Brazilian Teal typically inhabit a wide variety of freshwater environments such as pools, small lakes, and flooded fields, often surrounded by dense woodland. These habitats are predominantly located in inland areas below 500 meters elevation. While they favor freshwater bodies, brazilian Teal can occasionally be found in brackish or saline waters, including mangrove ecosystems. Their range spans a considerable portion of eastern South America, preferring areas away from the coast that feature plentiful dense vegetation.
Dite type
Omnivorous
