I have this duck named Petey. Well, Petey tried to eat me the other day, and I have no idea why. He latched on to my arm, and I had to pry his beak open just to get him off, boy was it smarts. Anyway, just curious as to why this little guy bit me. He will follow me, and attack my ankles if I turn my back on him. He will walk beside me, but the minute I turn he is biting me. How can I break him from this? I have been picking him up to carry him, and try and talk to him. Any advice would be great.
 
If he has a mate he could be over protective. I'm not sure you can break him.

Some ducks just aren't cuddly. Luckily ducks aren't near as harmful as geese!
 
Several years ago we had a big Pekin drake the decided to go a few round with our Romney/Southdown black ram. I have no idea what started the whole thing, but it was quite a site to see. The duck would fly at the rams face and pull wool while beating him with his wings. The ram would butt the duck and roll him across the ground. There were wool and white feathers all over the pasture. This lasted for more than just a few minutes! You would have figured it a one sided contest in favor of the 150 pound sheep. In the end, the ram gave up. The duck waddled back to the pond victorious with black wool in his bill. One tough duck!
