Species: Mallard Duck
In-game[]
Ducks are one of the 9 free birds. Ducks are possibly one of the least played birds, and it’s a free bird. Ducks are commonly used by very new players, possibly to annoy other players. Ducks are also 1 of 3 waterfowl in the game (all waterfowl are free), the others being geese and swans. (Picture shown before remodel)
In real life[]
The mallard duck is sexually dimorphic (although not in-game). Males have green heads, and females have brown heads. Ducks are semiaquatic birds (as seen in the picture). Ducks feed on a variety of things, such as small fish and fish eggs, snails, worms, slugs, mollusks, crustaceans, grass, leaves, weeds, algae, aquatic plants, roots, amphibians, aquatic and land insects, and seeds and grains. It’s a very common myth that ducks eat bread. A recent research showed that ducks cannot eat bread, as it could be damaging their health and habits. Lots of videos (and cartoons) show people feeding ducks bread. It’s highly unknown where the myth started. They can be a sight in places like Central Park.
Trivia[]
- Because ducks are commonly used by new players, they can sometimes annoy by joining a flock you don’t want them in, nest where you nested, or do something else annoying.
- Despite the fact mallard ducks have sexual dimorphism in real life, they don’t have it in-game.
- The duck is also not played very often, due to it being very old.
- In fact, all of the waterfowl did not get a remodel but they finally got a remodel.
