Duck
Duck is a wild and domestic waterfowl of the same family as the Goose and the Swan. Strictly speaking, Duck refers to the female and Drake to the male. They are glossy, creamy white in colour. The sexes vary greatly, while the male is brightly colored, the female is much more somber. The young resemble the adult female. They have long, broad wings and a small triangular bill. Usually ducks can be divided into three groups; the surface

The mother calls them to her, but does not help them in any way. The ducklings may jump from heights of up to 20 m without injury. They can move rapidly and pecks and dabbles on water surface, sometimes they tip-up or dive for submerged food items. They lay eggs occasionally on the grass, and the female thoroughly covers the eggs when she leaves the nest. The number of eggs varies from six to

eight, though ten have been recorded. They are of a yellowish buff or greenish yellow in color. Ducks are generally pair up in January; some of them regularly produce

two broods in one year.They are found in forested wetlands, including along rivers, swamps, marshes, ponds, and lakes. They take seeds, acorns, fruits, aquatic plants and terrestrial invertebrates as their food. Female makes loud cooing calls when they feel disturbed or at the time of taking flight. But male has thin, rising and falling zeeting whistle.
