What is a Duck?
Ducks are water-loving birds that can be found on ponds, lakes, rivers, and even on farms. They are known for their short legs, wide flat beaks, and webbed feet that help them swim. Ducks usually weigh between 2 and 4 pounds (0.9 to 1.8 kilograms) and live around 5 to 10 years. Their feathers are waterproof thanks to special oils they spread with their beaks. Ducks can be quite talkative, making fun 'quack' sounds, especially when they’re excited. They are omnivores, which means they eat plants, bugs, small fish, and grains. Ducks are found all over the world, from backyard ponds to wild wetlands, and they love paddling in groups called flocks. Baby ducks, called ducklings, are fluffy and yellow, and they follow their mother in a neat little line.
