PāpangoScaup
- Conservation status
- Doing OK
The greater scaup eats aquatic invertebrates. Although they prefer to forage during the day in shallow water, sometimes, if traffic is too high, they will delay their forage until night to avoid rush hour.

Mandi Shaw
My name is Mandi and I am a full time Dog Handler, I have two dogs, a cat and hopefully soon a tortoise! I've had various rescue animals over the years from ducks to hedgehogs. I love all animals but our native birds are very special to me and every year I get upset that I can't vote for all of them, I am very excited to have my own campaign and hope I can do the Pāpongo proud!
