They are also known as ‘Tree Ducks’. These are Black-bellied Whistling Ducks.
And yes, they do whistle. Just not any songs we might know, but it’s a whistle.

Unusual to see ducks up in the trees and great colouring as well! How often would you come across Whistling Ducks? Given they have webbed feet I guess they spend a fair bit of time in the water.
I don’t see them very often. Most times they are out a little too far in marshes. Very pretty and seem to spend plenty of time in trees. Of course they still stay in the marsh water, a duck is a duck LOL
