Duck crying

[SamSimone]

Hi guys,

Today my duck was standing in his kiddie pool just grooming and splashing, and when I walked towards him I noticed he was crying, like serious drops out of his eyes.

He was really pushing them out haha, about four of them, he has done it once before a few months ago.

Does this mean anything?
Should I be worried?
Is it a sign of sadness or is that just human behavior?

Thanks!
Sam

It's not sadness it's just water that the duck is getting out of their eyes. It probably didn't even come from the eye but rather a droplet on the beak that rolled back as the duck groomed teh water off.

Thanks! I'm really sure it came out of his eyes though, I looked real closely and they kept coming eventhough there was no water on his face anymore.

Probably nothing to worry about - at the same time I would watch closely - sometimes they can get eye infections.
