Did you know?

Ducklings are among the most endearing of waterfowl young, born fluffy and golden-yellow before their adult plumage develops. They are precocial, meaning they hatch relatively mature and mobile, ready to follow their mother to water within hours of hatching. In folklore and children's literature, the yellow duckling represents innocence, joy, and new beginnings—a motif beloved across cultures for generations.
