My duck has the hiccups and they won't go away!!

So I have a pekin male and he does this thing where he lifts his butt and head then hiccups and sounds funny almost like a donkey sound! He has had them for the past two days and it only seems to happen in the pond?? Please help!

Sounds like a mating display. They kind of lower their head so the bill touches their neck and puff out their head feathers a bit, then make an interesting "hiccup" or "fart" type sound. Kind of funny if you ask me, but he's probably displaying to his females.
