Tiny Duck Facts

Bite-sized duck wisdom for curious minds, pond watchers, and anyone who respects a bird with excellent floating skills.

Waterproof Feathers

Ducks spread oil from a gland near their tails across their feathers, helping water bead right off.

Ducks have a third eyelid called a nictitating membrane, which helps protect their eyes underwater.

Their paddle-like feet make swimming smooth, but they also help ducks walk across soft, muddy pond edges.

Not every duck quacks. Some whistle, grunt, squeak, or make soft peeping sounds.

Ducks can rest with one eye open, letting part of the brain stay alert while the other side naps.

Many duck species are surprisingly speedy in the air, with strong wings built for migration.
