Did you know?
Ducks are waterfowl found across the Northern Hemisphere, prized for centuries in both domestic farming and wild habitats. These dabbling ducks are characteristically buoyant, gregarious birds with webbed feet built for paddling through ponds and marshes. The bright yellow coloring in this pattern echoes the endearing appearance of ducklings during their first weeks—soft, fluffy, and distinctly yellow before they mature into their species' more varied adult plumage. In folklore and children's stories, ducks have long symbolized simplicity, contentment, and cheerful water-loving companionship.
