Male duck head vibrates??

[Shyanna Mobley]

My six month baby boy has always vibrated his head and I would put my arm out and he would take his vibrated head up my arm or if I'm not looking at him he will do it up my back. Does anyone know what that means?

Dominance....Its aggressive posturing...

My drake does that too, sometimes he'll just fling his head over whatever is closest(my shoe, arm, or some object he's playing with) and other times he'll bite it. I'm not sure what it is, he does it a lot when we're playing and when he sees something shiny and wants to nibble it. I'm not quite sure what it is but most things I've read say it's either aggressive or mating behavior, some say it's a thing they do when happy. To me it just looks like he's really excited but I don't know, it may be situational.

Our boys, and a few of our girls, do it too. Especially at treat time.

It is dominance...Yes, during treats it happens...Introducing new Ducks it happens...Not having yourself as flock master, it happens....

we had a duck we named "Timber" for shiver-me-timbers. We always thought it meant he loves you. He used to sit on our lap and cuddle and shiver, if a chicken came by he would hop off chase off the chicken so the chicken didn't get love, while he was off the lap he would poop, (because it is not polite to poop on a lap) then he would hop back up.

Don't put human emotions on them and then you will see and understand all behaviours they have..

I like my memories, thanks though.

One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking by a river. "Look at the fish, they are enjoying themselves." "You are not a fish," said the friend,"therefore how do you know they are enjoying themselves?" "You are not me.." Chuang Tzu said, "how do you know that I do not know they are enjoying themselves."

Whether animals can experience romantic love is unknown. But there is some evidence that they are capable of experiencing the same range of emotions as we can. The brains of many mammals are surprisingly similar to the human brain. Take as an example the brain of a cat.

Ducks are not mammals, but I think they can experience love or like, and hate.There is no scientific explanation if birds can love or not or even if they can feel emotion, but bird enthusiasts have observed some type of bird feelings from species to species emerge from different personalities and behaviors.

With that said....Appreciated...
They do not have real emotions but deep connections to their flock...Its instinct, hormones and conditioning...Each bird in a flock knows it place and each behaviour reflects that position....
