“…One function of courtship feeding is to provide an important source of extra nutrients for the female (Royama 1966, Tasker & Mills 1981. Red-crested Pochard females (Netta rufina) have been observed feeding on plants brought by their mates to the water surface, and this behaviour has been considered either as food sharing (Gillham 1955) or courtship feeding (Buxton 1962, King & Prytherch 1963, Platz 1964). These reports were mainly anecdotal and mainly involved captive birds, and few quantitative data are available on this foraging behaviour, but the interpretation of this behaviour as courtship feeding has persisted (Cramp & Simmons 1977, McKinney 1992.…”

Platz (1964) suggested that the main function of this behaviour was to maintain and strengthen pair bonds. In this paper I report on this behaviour in wild Red-crested Pochards, examine its behavioural context, and discuss on functional significance.…”
