Why does my duck quack twice, then stick out his neck?
How horrible of the breeder to knowingly keep her ducks in a place where fire ants were attacking them! That's nothing short of animal abuse. On the flip side, it does seem serendipitous that you got these ducks that had been infested with the same ants that killed your goose. Poor little...- Neeznoodle

Why does my duck quack twice, then stick out his neck?
Quote: Aw, that sounds pretty wonderful. I'd love to let our duck roam our home, but it just isn't possible. I read the story of your goose from your childhood. That was so very sad. I'm also in Florida, and am very familiar with those awful fire ants (my youngest has about 40 scars on her...- Neeznoodle

featheredfashions, Where do you keep your ducks indoors? Do they get a room to themselves? This wouldn't work for us with our four cats, though the cats might enjoy it. The duck and our cats have met each other in our screened-in porch, where we have been there to make sure all is well...- Neeznoodle

Quote: That totally makes sense! And, yes, he is a happy duck. I never would have imagined what great pets ducks are (for those willing to commit the time required to caring for them). I admit that I have fallen in love with this little guy, as have my two daughters.- Neeznoodle

Why does my duck quack twice, then stick out his neck?
Re: Our duck being a single duck. Yes, I am aware that ducks are flock animals. We learned that after we got the duck. However, for now, he will remain a single duck. I am not positive, but suspect that we are not technically allowed to have ducks where we live (ours is a deed restricted...- Neeznoodle

One of the things that he has been doing lately is going crazy for our shoes. By that, I mean our shoes seem to bring out aggression in him. He wants to peck our shoes and will move in a sneaky way (he thinks) to get close enough to peck them. If he's not stopped, he gets aggressive in his...- Neeznoodle

Oh my goodness! He must be courting us, then, because he's an only duck. He's about 5-6 months old, so does that sound about right for maturity?- Neeznoodle

Why does my duck quack twice, then stick out his neck?
Our pet duck has been doing something for a while, and I finally got it on video. He begins by pulling his head close to his body, then he quacks twice (his tail always goes up as he quacks). Next, he sticks his head out, low and close to the ground, while walking forward. Here is a link to...- Neeznoodle
