Mallard Duck
I love swimming, diving – and yes, even flying short distances.
I wear a brown feather dress, but my mate – the drake – looks magnificent with his shiny green head.
In spring, I lay up to eleven eggs in a cozy nest by the shore and keep them warm for about 25 days.
When my ducklings hatch, they’re already tiny adventurers – walking, swimming, and following me everywhere.
With their fluffy brown and yellow feathers, they’re truly adorable!
I call them with my special voice – and they always know where safety is.
And if I ever need to protect my nest, I’ve got a clever trick: I splash it with smelly droppings to scare off predators. It works!
