h English (en) | ==Ducks== {{main|Domestic duck}} Ducks are medium-sized aquatic birds with broad bills, eyes on the side of the head, fairly long necks, short legs set far back on the body, and webbed feet. Males, known as drakes, are often larger than females (known as hens) and are differently coloured in some breeds. Domestic ducks are [[omnivore]]s, eating a variety of animal and plant materials such as aquatic insects, molluscs, worms, small amphibians, waterweeds, and grasses. They feed in shallow water by dabbling, with their heads underwater and their tails upended. Most domestic ducks are too heavy to fly, and they are social birds, preferring to live and move around together in groups. They keep their plumage waterproof by preening, a process that spreads the secretions of the [[Uropygial gland|preen gland]] over their feathers. |
h Japanese (ja) | ==カモ== {{main/ja|Domestic duck/ja}} カモは中型の水鳥で、幅広いくちばし、頭部の側方に位置する眼、かなり長い首、体の後方に位置する短い脚、そして水かきのある足をもつ。雄(drake)は雌(hen)より大きいことが多く、品種によっては羽色が異なる。家禽アヒルは[[omnivore/ja|雑食]]であり、水生昆虫、軟体動物、ミミズ、小型両生類、水草、草など多様な動植物を食べる。浅い水域で嘴先採食(ダブリング)を行い、頭部を水中に入れ尾を上に向けて採餌する。多くの家禽アヒルは重すぎて飛翔できず、群居性が高く、群れで生活し移動することを好む。彼らは羽づくろいにより羽毛を防水し、これは[[Uropygial gland/ja|尾脂腺]]の分泌物を羽毛全体に塗布する過程である。 |
