What do Koloa eat as part of their natural diet?
Koloa maoli are dabbling ducks, which are known to be good divers but usually feed by dabbling or tipping rather than submerging. Dabblers have bills that are specially designed to remove food particles from the water. Koloa maoli eat primarily small invertebrates such as aquatic insects, snails and immature crayfish. They also eat freshwater limu and seeds of grasses, sedges and other wetland plants.
