Ducks, swans and geese, herons and egrets, sandpiper and similar types, pelicans and so forth are considered water birds. They inhabit coasts, island, bays, lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes, swamps and other wetlands. They feed on aquatic life (plants or animals) and some species also diet on insects, mice, or seeds. Their appearance and nesting practices are as diverse as the environments in which they live. Commonly, water birds will gather in flocks and sometimes share in hunting.
