Fun Facts about the Duck!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quack! Hey there! I am the Pet of the Month for March and so far it’s going just swimmingly!  I just love chowing down on my favorite Cheese and Quackers and floating in my Wetlands Pond Bathtub.

Since March is MY month, I wanted to share some fun facts with you about ducks like me.

Did you know that the name ‘duck’ comes from the Old English word ‘duce’ that means ‘diver’? That’s because, in order to feed, we duck our heads under the water. Sometimes a female is referred to as a ‘duck’ and a male is called a ‘drake’ but some people call the female a ‘hen,’ just like chicken.

    Uh, not much info here. Let me help you, er, what’s your name? Duck. So, what food do ducks eat? Where did they originate from? How do they survive hard times? BTW, these were my teacher’s questions when we were doing the Animal Kingdom. ;-)
