I noticed my ducks doing this a couple times. They'll streeeettttcccchhhh out one leg, then tuck it up under them and kinda stand like a Flamingo. Some of the more balanced inclined ones will tuck a head under their wing. And dozing on the water? Are they just to lazy to get out of the pond?
I love when mine pretend they are flamingoes!! Its just so cute... Mine do it often...but the pool arent really big enough for them to sleep in.
I noticed my female duck doing that the other day. She was a little wobbly though. The others napped in the pool.
Yes, mine do that. They mostly sleep on the ground, but now and then there's a bit of time spent on one leg, balanced, with head tucked under wing. I haven't seen 'em nap in their pool. though....
My pekins do that, too! And it's really funny when they fall deep asleep and fall over! Ha - that wakes 'em up fast!
My own ducks haven't done this to my knowledge, but then, I rarely see them sleep -- come to think of it, I almost never have. They have a really good sense of hearing and vision and know that I'm coming and start quacking when I'm like 25-30 feet from their enclosure. But, I've seen wild ducks do this many, many times at the lakeshores. I think it's pretty normal.
