Aflatoxin poisoning - If food with aflatoxins from mold is consumed, severe liver damage and a decrease in egg production can occur. The first thing you’ll need is a syringe (without the needle) and some sort of soft food like mashed-up peas or hard-boiled eggs. The female is brown with dark streaks and brown ‘V’ shapes on the flanks. The tail is white, and the wings have the blue and white patches like the male. The head is grey with fine stripes, and the bill is brown with orange or yellow marks. These beautiful birds are native to east Asia but feral populations became established in the UK early in the 20th century. They are now quite widespread and are of course very easily identified, particularly the colourful male.

The female is chocolate brown with paler flanks, and white underparts, and the crest is shorter. She also may have white patches around the base of the bill. The male in eclipse plumage looks like the female.

Red-crested pochard ( Netta rufina) – 10-21 pairs/500 words – introduced (also occurs naturally as a wanderer from mainland Europe) The female garganey is like the male in eclipse plumage but paler. There is an obvious white spot near the bill.

Gadwall ( Mareca strepera) – 1,200 pairs/25,000 birds – native (though numbers increased by releases of captive birds) Compared to common scoter, velvet scoter are heavily built with a chunky, wedge-shaped bill along with usually having white in the wing.

In the UK, they're seen on the sea during winter. The female is grey with brown mottles with a darker brown breast, and rump. The head his pale, dull brown with a white eyering and white around the bill and throat. The bill is grey with a pale central band. Males in eclipse plumage is like the female but has a redder head and red eyes. Or you can also make a poultry waterer. This is actually a really cool idea because they can’t climb in and try to swim in it. Believe you me, if they can get into water, they will do it. This will help keep their water a little cleaner which means less waste and less extra work for you.If you feed them iceberg lettuce in small amounts it is okay. However, too much can give them diarrhea which throws their whole bodies off. So give this food with caution. 4. White Potatoes, Green Tomatoes, and Purple Eggplant The female pintail is similar to the male in eclipse plumage with streaks and a lacey pattern. The head is plain, while the bill and legs are grey. Goldeneyes feed mainly by diving up to depths of 4 m. They will occasionally dabble and upend in shallow water although this is usually only practised by juveniles. In general, though, you’ll want to choose a food that is easy to digest and rich in nutrients. This means avoiding things like processed grains or sugary fruits. End with its head tilted down so any remaining food falls out of its mouth instead of going down its throat and causing issues.
