Duck behavior

[Jillchapa86]

what does it mean when my ducks nibble my toes and feet and wag their tails , it almost seems like their way of giving affection ,to me? It’s not a bite it’s a gentle nibble almost like they know it’s silly .

My ducks do the same, I think it’s them being curious and trusting. I don’t think it’s affection necessarily, just assuring that they’re comfortable around you!

Nibbling: could be a male trying to flirt or just them trying to figure out what is food. I love when my ducks do it, but it is not a behavior to pursue. Just(very soft) tap there bill, or just it hold it shut and say NO.
Tail wagging: just like dogs...they are HAPPY!!!!

Aww I love it when mine do it!! I think it might be when they are looking for food in your hand or trying to see if theres anything such as food under your feet… they also do this when they are eating grass and looking for bugs so...

Ducks communicate by touch...They investigate everything just like Puppies do...Straight to the mouth.
