Dabbling Ducks
This is the largest tribe of Wild foul. These ducks have colonized all of the major continents as well as many small oceanic islands. The majority of the Dabbling Ducks show a strong difference in form between the male and female. As their name implies, the Dabbling Ducks obtain their food by feeding in shallow water

Stiff-Tails
These occur only in the Southern Hemisphere, including South America, South Africa and Australia, however the White-Headed duck is confined to the Northern Hemisphere. Stiff-Tails are short bodied, dumpy birds with relatively long tails comprised of stiff feathers and often held up at an angle. All species are very aquatic and spend little time on land. They are very accomplished divers aided by the position of their legs well back on their body

Shelducks
Most widely spread in Eurasia. There is a slight difference in plumage between sexes. Although they can walk and run well, and do much of their feeding by sifting mud and shallow water, they swim much more readily than other ducks.
Whistling Ducks
Members of the Whistling Duck family are found throughout the subtropical and tropical regions of the world. There are no sex differences in the plumage of any of the species, though males tend to average a little larger than females. Once paired, they stay together for life. They are very sociable ducks.

Diving Ducks
Occurring widely in North America and Eurasia, the Diving Ducks are a bulky species, with broad body and generally short tail. Plumages tend to be subdued but even so, the male of the species are brighter than the females. Their legs are further back than those of the Dabbling Ducks aiding their ability to dive, but making their progress on land much less agile.
