Bufflehead                                      

 A species that has proven difficult to breed. Bufflehead require a permit to keep within Canada. Can be aggressive with each other during breeding season.  Two ponds within a aviary  will help with this.

   Females are very small and prefer a raised nest box with three inch hole . Buffies are very reliable nesters, very often using the same nest box every year.

   Very long lived if kept in the right conditions.
