Ducks are waterfowl found across the globe in freshwater and saltwater environments. Known for their distinctive quacking calls and webbed feet, ducks are highly social birds that often travel in flocks and mate for the season. Their feathers contain a natural waterproofing oil that helps them stay dry while swimming and diving for food. In folklore and children's literature, ducks have long symbolized innocence, playfulness, and nurturing—particularly mother ducks caring for their ducklings, making them beloved subjects in nursery and children's art.
