Australis most frequently encountered ducks, the Pacific black duck is found in various wetland habitats. It feeds by upending and has a dark body with a paler head. The female ducks can produce a sequence of raucous, rapid quacking. The duck's nest is usually placed in a tree hole, but sometimes on the ground, and the clutch consists of 8–10 pale cream eggs. The ducklings leave the nest when dry and are cared for by the female. I encounter these birds almost daily.
