The Cinnamon Teal Duck is an aquatic bird, but it can also run and walk on land to catch certain prey like little bugs and insects. When they aren’t skimming the water or the land for bugs, they sleep. The females sleep together in a huddle, while the males stay awake and alert to protect the females. Ducks usually make a loud quacking sound, but the Cinnamon Teal is a quieter duck. Females will make a loud “quack” when needed to and the males will produce a nasal, whistling song.
