Canard Chipeau . / Gadwall Duck .

Grégaire comme par obligation , le discret Chipeau fait figure de grand sentimental qui se rencontre souvent par couples ou en petites compagnies , comme s’il fuyait les grands rassemblements . Il doit son nom à son comportement parasite , chipant aux foulques et aux canards plongeurs les plantes subaquatiques qui ne lui sont pas accessibles .

 

Gregarious as if by obligation , the discreet Chipeau is a great sentimentalist who is often found in couples or small groups , as if he were fleeing large gatherings . It owes its name to its parasite behavior , stealing underwater plants that are inaccessible to it from coots and diving ducks .
