Mallard Ducks

Mallard..the first thing I think of when I think of mallard ducks is...





Dr. Mallard (Ducky) from NCIS. However, I am here to talk about real mallards. Mallard ducks are omnivores, and weigh just about 2 to 3 lbs. There are from about 20 to 26 inches tall. Ducks live from about 5 to 10 years in the wild.

A group of flying ducks is called a sord. Above you can see a male.

  1. HI there - thanks for coming by my blog and commenting. How did you find it? I laughed when I saw the first picture.... Have you ever seen this really old show called Man From U.N.C.L.E.? That's when that guy played a studly-for-the-times international spy. Now he is a Mallard.

    Love ducks. Hope you'll come back and visit my blog often, and I will visit yours. I post almost every day!
