DUCK
Ducks are a type of poultry that belongs to the Anatidae family, which also includes geese and ducks. Ducks are known for their fat bodies, wide beaks, and webbed feet that make them easier to swim. There are various species of ducks spread throughout the world, from wild ducks to domesticated ducks. Some commonly found duck species include Pekin ducks, Mandalika ducks and goat ducks. Ducks are omnivorous animals, which means they eat various types of food, both plant and animal origin. They usually eat seeds, aquatic plants, worms, insects, and even small fish. Ducks' flat bills allow them to filter food from the water efficiently. In the wild, ducks usually live around bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers and swamps. They have the ability to swim very well and can fly although often do not fly as far as other birds. Ducks are also known for the distinctive "quacking" sound they make, although there are some species that are quieter. Ducks also have an important role in the ecosystem. As insects and aquatic plant eaters, they help control pest populations and maintain environmental balance. In the world of animal husbandry, ducks are often kept for their meat and eggs, which have high nutritional value. Duck eggs, for example, are larger and have a richer flavor than chicken eggs. Even though they are often found in the wild, ducks are also popular pets, both in rural and urban areas. They are easy to care for and have a friendly character.
