Why does my duck SCREAM at me

[graypes]

Hi my duck (2mo female) will not stop screaming every time she sees me. My older ducks don't do this so I'm just curious why she's doing this. the scream is a blood curdling volume of MAH MAH MAH MAH mah and it is every time she sees me up close or at a distance. she then does this thing with her neck I don't know how to describe other that she's not flattening out and she's not bobbing her head but she's just like jutting it around

She did it a few minutes ago while I was out there chatting around with the kids so I picked her up out of the pool and set her down on the grass to watch her and she "assumed the position" like flattened out...

So is this a breeding behavior?? or is she acting up?? How do I get her to stop? the ignoring her solution hasn't worked so far, she's just doing it now every time she sees me

She loves you, Mom. Sounds as if she has imprinted on you for some reason. Was she an only duckling raised by you?

It does sound like she has imprinted on you.
She is saying MA MA MA MA MA!! I’m over here!

Not an only duckling but one of three! Ah man, how do I tell the neighbors, "sorry, she just loves me!" hahaha

Yes, you could tell them that she loves you so much, she is telling the whole world.

She will stop - but it will take time. I had one or two of those over the years. The behavior will be less and less noticeable as she matures. Especially if you have a drake. Once she accepts what she perceives as a new mate it will help.

They have two drakes to chose from and though theyve started to take to them, the second she sees me she takes off like a bobblehead before flattening out like a surfboard at my feet hahahahha guess she really *likes* me
