The Green Winged Teal Duck (Anas carolinensis) is the smallest of the North American dabbling ducks. These small, blucky ducks are just 12 inches long, can weigh just 11 ounces and can live 20-30 years. The Green Winged Teal Duck is commonly found throughout North America.

The Green Winged Teal Duck is a cold hardy breed, quite tame, and easy to raise. An enclosed aviary is recommended as these tiny ducks are very agile fliers and will fly off. They are extremely small and can fit through openings as small as two inch openings such as aviary netting and wiring, so it a smaller and finer netting is recommended.

Green Winged Teal drakes have a chestnut-colored head with an iridescent green patch from its eyes to the nape of its neck, a pinkish-brown chest with black speckles, and the back, gray sides and back separated from the chest with a white stripe. Its small bill is dark slate and it has dark gray legs and feet.
