Duck

A duck is a common waterbird in the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and swans. Ducks are found in both fresh and saltwater habitats around the world and are known for their webbed feet, waterproof feathers, and a wide variety of sounds, from quacks to whistles. 🦆

Ducks have a stout body with a short neck, a flat bill, and webbed feet. Their feathers are coated in a special oil that makes them waterproof. Their coloring can vary greatly between species, from the iridescent green head of a male mallard to the sleek black of a scoter.

Ducks are found in a variety of aquatic habitats, including ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans. They are omnivores and their diet is diverse, consisting of aquatic plants, insects, small fish, and crustaceans.

Ducks are highly social birds that live in groups called flocks. They are known for their loud and varied vocalizations. Many duck species are also migratory, traveling thousands of miles each year in search of food and breeding grounds.
