Pintail

A pintail is a kind of duck that belongs to the genus Anas, which includes other dabbling ducks such as mallards, teals, and wigeons.

There are four species of pintails: the northern, the yellow-billed, the white-cheeked, and the red-billed.

Pintails are characterized by their long, slender necks, bills, and tails, which give them a graceful and elegant appearance.

Pintails are also swift fliers and can migrate long distances.

They feed mainly on seeds, but also eat aquatic plants, insects, and crustaceans.
