What is Wigeon?
The four types of Wigeon belong to the waterfowl class called dabbling ducks and "dabbling" is a good description of the way this kind of duck fed. Wigeon, sometimes written by Widgeon, turns over to feed in shallow water bodies, and only its tail end appeared above the water line when dabil in the meal area. This feature distinguishes it from diving ducks, which is fully immersed in deeper water, diving and swimming for food. Four different types of Wigeons, which are characterized by their geographical location, are CAPE, Chilae, Euasian and American.
Cape Wigeon, found in Africa, is looking for shallow waterways at night for his food, unlike other Wigeons who are daily feed. The Chilae, which lives in South America, is characterized by the fact that a man of the kind participates in breeding offspring, a task that many male ducks do not perform. American Wigeon, as its name suggests, may be found in North America, specifically in the northwest region during the reproduction period, and BDuring the coldest months in North America, it flies to the Caribbean and Mexico. The geographical range of the Eurasian Wigeon is wide and can sometimes include the Pacific coast of North America, as well as Florida, Texas, Newfoundland and Labrador, although they will not leave in North America. Most of them spend winters in the UK, Russia, Africa, India, Japan, the Philippines and Formos.
