DUCKS
There are more than 40 breeds of domestic ducks.
Are related to geese and swans.
Have very waterproof feathers with a waxy coating.
Have a downy under-layer of feathers.
Have webbed feet that act as paddles, so that they waddle instead of walk or hop.
Have good eyesight.
When preening, they spread a waxy coating on each feather.
Duckling are covered in down.
When nesting, the female will pluck her own down to line the nest.
Eat grass, aquatic plants, insects, seeds, fruit and fish.
Can live between 2-12 years, depending upon the species.
A duck's quack does not echo, and nobody knows why.
Most ducks don't quack.
A duck's egg was found with live fish inside it - it was found in a pond in the French Alps.
Cannot walk without bobbing its head.
Ducks love to surf. They will often ride the tide, and swim back to ride them again.
