Duck Facts





Today at camp we learned about ducks. Each camper had to pick a duck from the poster and then colour their duck picture to match their duck. Then everyone had to guess everyone else's duck. We learned some interesting facts about ducks.
  • Ducks have 3 eye lids.
  • Ducks are omnivorous which means they will eat both plants and insects.
  • Ducks are found on every continent except for Antarctica.
  • Duck calls include grunts, groans, brays, growls, chips and whistles. Not many ducks actually quack.
  • Ducks can fly over 300 miles per day.
  • There are many different types of ducks including dabbling ducks, diving ducks, perching ducks and stifftail ducks.
