Quiet ducks which wont stray far?

[davez]

Males are much much much quieter that females. I have a suburban lot and had 3 males. My neighbor who's house is 20' from my pond didnt know I had ducks. (Austrailian spotted.) I had a tragic racoon incident and added some females who are loud enough to be heard across the street. So if you want grub removers /lawn fertilizers / decorations Austrailian Spotted males are quite nice.
