Ducks are aquatic birds that populate many of the fresh and saltwater bodies around the world. Distinct from other waterfowl, such as swans and geese, ducks are important around the world for eggs, feathers, meat and more.
Ducks are both able to float or swim on water, and also able to fly. Although most species of ducks are able to fly, a few are not, and other factors such as molting can affect the ability of a duck to be able to fly. Ducks are also important in human culture for a variety of reasons, including in jokes and humor, and in commonly used phrases like “sitting duck”.
The variety of ducks and their behavior (and how adorable ducklings are) makes them a great subject for photography:
