Also known as a Sprig, Sprigtail, Spike, or a Spike tail, the Pintail is a medium size dabbling duck that can be easily distinguished from the other dabblers due to its long slender profile, elegant neck, and of course their pointed tail.  Male Pintails have a long thin tail feather that can measure as great as 6 inches, and the females also have a distinct tail that only measures about a quarter of the males.  This slim tail feather narrows down to a sharp point and takes credit for where this beautiful waterfowl gets its name.  Pintails are usually found gliding through marshes, ponds, lakes, and rivers. 

This detailed sculpture “Quarter-life Size Pintail Drake” captures this remarkable dabbler with its definite features including the famous long pintail. These quarter-life size products are a great small book shelf addition as well as a must have for the younger wildlife enthusiast.
