Wetland birds are species that thrive in wetland habitats, which include marshes, swamps, and estuaries. These birds are adapted to living in areas with shallow water and abundant vegetation, providing them with food and nesting sites. Common examples of wetland birds include herons, egrets, and ducks, which often feed on fish, insects, and plants. Wetland birds play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to control insect populations and dispersing seeds. They are also important indicators of environmental health, as their presence or absence can signal changes in wetland conditions. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these habitats and the birds that depend on them.
