why do my baby mallards bite my hand

Duck investigate with their beaks. They will nip, pinch, bite, etc. Anything in sight. Unless it hurts, I wouldn't worry about it. I let mine bite me when they were young, and they still bite me, It hurts, but they are love bites, so who cares?!

My Indian Runner Duck, Angel bites me, but it isn't hard and it doesn't hurt. I don't think it is a mean bite. I think she is being affectionate.... I may be wrong.
 
When my ducks nibble me I always take them to be beak kisses. My boy duck nibbles a bit harder and is a bit nervous so they come across more like bites but if he were really bitin they would properly hurt so I take his gentle bites to be kisses toooooo
