Feeding Habits
Salvadori's Teal is an omnivore, dabbling and diving for plants, insects, and potentially small fish, displaying a versatile feeding behavior.
Habitat
Salvadori's Teal typically inhabits the mountainous regions of New Guinea. They favor habitats with swiftly flowing rivers, mountain torrents, brooks, streams of varying flow rates including sluggish and muddy waters, and small alpine lakes. These environments are usually found at elevations from 500 to 4,100 meters, though occasions of salvadori's Teal descending to lower altitudes, such as the Lakekamu Basin at merely 70 meters, have been observed. Despite occasionally being found in stagnant lakes, salvadori's Teal shows a clear preference for more dynamic aquatic environments.

Species Status
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed Salvadori's teal as vulnerable. The total world population, currently estimated to be between 2,500 and 9,999 mature individuals, is thought to be declining at a moderate rate. Hunting, habitat degradation and predation by dogs are among the threats this species faces, and competition with introduced sport fish may also cause problems.
