Ducks

My Duck Report.

A ducks is a bird.

Ducks have waterproof feathers. They use it for flying and to keep them warm. Ducks have two webbed feet. On the water they lie on their stomach while they paddle with their two webbed feet. Ducks swim in rivers and ponds. Ducks have beaks. They use it for eating and to catch food. Some ducks beaks are colour blue yellow orange. 

Male ducks are called drakes, female ducks are called hen while baby ducks are called ducklings. Mother ducks lay eggs in their nest. The mother duck keeps it warm for a long long time. After a long long time a little duckling comes out.

In New Zealand there are people shooting ducks and it will begin in May.

Ducks are helpful because they lay eggs for people to eat.
