Food Habits of Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks Occupying Rice Culture Habitats Preliminary results (Bourne and Osborne, Black-bellied Whistling Duck utilization of a rice culture hab- itat, Intercencia 3:152-159, 1978) indicate that overall depredation levels are low even though the ducks ingest newly sown, pregerminated paddy or seed rice (Oryza sativa). The purpose of this paper is to present data on the food habits of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks in Guyana, South America, when they occupied rice culture habitats during crop sowing in June 1973 and October-December 1974. Ducklings consumed 54% animal foods in this study, suggesting that younger whistling ducks need the higher protein content found in animal foods for growth and development. elibrary.unm.edu /sora/Wilson/v093n04/p0551-p0554.html
