Radjah Shelducks are large, stunning birds. Their mostly white plumage is dramatically contrasted by a dark-chestnut breast band;  black back, wing-tips, rump, and tail; pink bill, legs, feet; and pale eyes. Radjah Shelducks are monogamous and breed for life. They use very little nesting material and are often found nesting in hollow limbs or tree trunks.
