🦆 A duck is a waterfowl bird known for its webbed feet, short neck, and broad bill. It has a compact body, feathers that vary in color and pattern, and a distinctive quacking sound. Ducks are excellent swimmers and can be found in ponds, lakes, rivers, and even coastal areas. They are omnivorous, feeding on aquatic plants, insects, small fish, and sometimes even amphibians. Ducks are often associated with calm waters and are admired for their graceful swimming and charming waddling walk on land.
