The Facts and Fictions
Ducks are just little animals that swim around in the pond right? No! There is way more to ducks that you think. As a ex-duck owner I'm going to tell you a bit more about ducks than you might previously known.
| Facts | Truth |
| Ducks are edible | Unfortunatly ducks are delicacies in many cultures. ie. Orange duck, Pekin Duck, BBQ duck, duck soup... |
| Ducks eat slugs. | They don't just eat them, they love SLUGS!!! They go slug hunting all day! |
| Ducks have eyelids on the bottom of their eyes | Yep, their eyelids are not like humans. It's on the bottom half. It's kind of neat! |
| Ducks body slam! | It's hilarious, when two ducks body slam. They usually do this when they are fighting over something, kind of like kids. |
| Ducks fight | Hell yeah, they are very violent. They fight a lot! |
| Ducks are stubborn | They probably don't know what stubborn means, but they sure act it! |
| Ducks fart! | I'm not very sure but they release gaz from behind with a big sound! |
| Fiction | Truth |
| Ducks are vegetarians | Not even close. Ducks are omnivores. They eat meat and vegetables. Some ducks eat fish, slugs, anything crawling around or green! |
| Ducks don't blink | Of course they blink, how else are they suppose to protect their eyes from the dust and dirt? |
| Ducks don't fly | It depends, but the ones I was familiar with can fly up to the roof top. (If they didn't fly, why would they have wings?) |
| Ducks are gentle | Think again! Ducks can be very cruel and violent. They attack others with their beaks and body. |
| Ducklings are soft and yellow | Rarely, just like human babies, they are individuals. They come in different colour, shape and sizes. Of course babies are always adorable though. |
| Ducks have no ears | How are they suppose to hear if they had no ears? They don't have fancy cartilage like we do, but they have ear holes on the side of their head! |
| All ducks quack | Wrong! Cartoon ducks might always quack but in reality it depends on the different species of ducks. Some ducks chirp. (mine did!) |
