Blood sample from adult male Heteronetta atricapilla (SampleID: SHBP4306). The black-headed duck is native to South America and is the only obligate brood parasite among the waterfowl (family Anatidae). This means that females do not build nests, incubate eggs or care for their offspring, but instead lay eggs in the nests of other bird species, which provide incubation of black-headed duck eggs.
