Description:
Smew Ducks are small and are native to Northern Europe. The drake Smew, with its 'cracked ice' and 'panda' appearance, is unmistakable, and looks very black-and-white in flight. The females and immature males are grey birds with chestnut foreheads and crowns. The Smew's bill has a hooked tip and serrated edges, which help them to catch fish when it dives for them. They are excellent divers, and feed on mostly fish and invertebrates in their native habitat. In captivity they will need extra protein added to their feed, floating catfish food, or trout pellets are suitable additives. Like the Hooded Merganser they also need a lot of water.
