OK, while I was out 4wdriving the other day, I noticed a "Duck", the question that came to mind was, What or Why, is a Duck?
Yeah yeah, Ive checked the archives, couldnt find anything.
Thanks in advance.

A duck, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck (no echo) thens it's a duck, the question is do ducks talk, daffy does, but is he real.

A Duck usually precedes or post dates a Weave when in a tight situation or when trying to extract an answer form one's boss.
A better answer will require more information. Feathered? Down? Tyred? Floating? Army? Navy? What sort of Duck?

Grey hair is hereditary, you get it from children. Baldness is caused by watching the Wallabies.

"duck infront of a duck" and "duck behind a duck" implies >1 duck, "duck in the middle" inplies an odd number of ducks, so the least number of ducks to satisfy all conditions is 3, however any odd number above three is also correct.

Mate, if you post questions like this you will end up being an easy target every time you post - a sitting duck so to speak. People may even start to use "fowl" language to describe your post. There will be people Peking at this duck post and flapping around trying to find answers. Some of them may be bowled over with a feather by the time they are finished reading it
But here is some more information on this very interesting subject
The word duck meaning the bird, came from the verb "to duck" meaning to bend down as if to get under something, because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending (compare the Dutch word duiken = "to dive").
This happened because the older Old English word for "duck" came to be pronounced the same as the word for "end": other Germanic languages still have similar words for "duck" and "end": for example, Dutch eend = "duck", eind = "end"; compare Latin anas (stem anat-) = "duck", Sanskrit anta (masc.) = "end", Lithuanian antis = "duck".

Apparently the shoveller duck is not correctly rated for recovery. You can use two of them shackeled together but they are a poultry excuse for a recovery object....

Duck is both the common species name and the female of that species common name, the drake is the common name for the male.
This means that technically there is no problem with the name but it would be correct to refer to Donald (or Daffy or Plucka) as "Donald Duck, a drake at your service".
What do we then make of a Ms Jane Bull?
Same goes for Mr John Doe, often seen in A&E of most hospitals, has notably gone under the knife for many face lifts and leg lengthincreases/decreases, lipsuctions/fat replacement, etc? Basically he never looks the same whenever you see him?

A bit of trivia about "duck/s" , the late great Errol Flynn the actor from
Tasmania ,as a boy kept ducks ., one day at feeding time he tied a small piece of raw pork to a long piece of string and did feed it to the ducks ,now supposedly ducks cannot digest raw pork and so duck 1 eats pork on string and then very quickly the pork passes through duck 1 , duck 2 proceeds to eat the pork ect ect through to duck 10 , little Errol can now walk all his ducks nose to tail in a straight line on the 1 piece of string .
