A waterbird is a type of bird that is commonly found in or near water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and wetlands. These birds are adapted to aquatic environments and often have features like webbed feet, long legs, and specialized beaks for catching fish or other aquatic prey. Examples of waterbirds include ducks, herons, and swans. Waterbirds play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to control fish populations and serving as indicators of environmental health. They often migrate between different habitats, which allows them to find food and suitable breeding grounds. Conservation efforts are crucial for protecting their habitats from pollution and development.
