About Mallard Ducks

The Mallard, or Wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos), is probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks. The male birds have a bright green head and the female birds have a light brown head. Mallard ducks live in wetlands and eat water plants. They are gregarious, migratory birds that form large flocks.

Mallards ducks can reach 26 inches in length, have a wingspan of 39 inches, and weigh close to 3 pounds. Females can lay 8-13 eggs, which are incubated for 27-28 days before hatching. The duckling are born able to swin and feed themselves but stay near their mother for protection.

Better duck?

A proud mallard drake (Anas platyrhnchos) stands stalwartly before me and pays no attention to the corn chip placed conveniently on the rock below. He clearly enjoys the cool Autumn breeze rippling across the water and posing for a flock of females that are bobbing out in the water. Mallards are considered "dabbling" ducks since they feed mainly on vegetable matter on the surface by upending rather than diving. Traditionally most ducks classified by morphological similarites into groups such as diving ducks, perching ducks, dabbling ducks and shelducks, which include geese and swans.

Tapir and Friends Animal Store has a wide selection of plastic birds and some Audubon stuffed birds for sale. Our plastic mallard duck is a drake with bright colors and compliments our fine selection of realistic plastic geese and swan jewelry. We also sell a wooden replica mallard duck eyeglass holder (peeper keeper) for those of you who love ducks as much as we do.
