Duck Twitching Wings?

[Bumblebeeduck111]

This is Honeybee, we just got him recently. He is about 5-6 months old, male, call duck. He started twitching his wings randomly. Maybe stress from being in new place? Seizure? Sickness? He is eating and drinking fine, preening, bathing.

He's adjusting his wings - not an unusual behavior especially if his flight feathers are still in the 'blood feather' stage.

All mine twitch their wings when they're content and sleepy. Completely normal.

He's a cutie!

This is a perenial question as everyone [including me] gets worried when their ducks first get twitchy!!

It's normal and all my pekins and my son's pekins do it. I haven;t seen my muscovies do it but perhpas they do it behind my back!
