Bucephala
see also: Etymology of Bucephala
The kind Bucephala (the garrots ) includes/understands three species small ducks from 37 to 43 cm.
These species present a particular bridal parade: the male tightens the neck with the veticale and shows its white chest, it violently rejects the head on the back by pushing a cry.
The nest is carried out in the cavity of tree, often rather high.
