Tips for Naming Your Duck

Naming your duck is a curious and creative process. There’s no need to get your waddle worked up when deciding the perfect namesake for your darling duckie. Get your family involved with an all-hands-on-duck attitude! Together with the following tips, you will find the luckiest duckiest name out there.

• Consider your feathery family member’s personality. Keep an eye on how they behave with other ducks, animals, and family members. Watch and observe how they waddle, what sounds they make and how they sleep. What is their favorite food? Are they affectionate or keep their distance? What and who do they spend time with? These are all helpful ways to narrow down a name for your duck.
• Select a name that has meaning to you. Do you have a mentor to honor? Are you a huge fan of a movie star, celebrity, or influencer? Do you have a favorite color, food, or fragrance that your ducking reminds you of? Going through this process narrows down the field and might give you a spark of inspiration. Many great duck pun names were born during this process!
• Get your family and friends involved in the naming process. What do they have to say about your dandy duckie? They might see a trait that triggers the best name that you didn’t see coming. Invite them over for a duck naming party and have fun spending time with you and your new quacker.
• Check out how your duck reacts to a potential name. Does he or she come happily waddling along to you when you say it or throw up both wings and run the other way? If there is a positive response you are on the right track. If there is a negative response, go back to the duck naming drawing board. 
• Finally, select a name and commit to it. Ducks are smart and when you are consistent with a new name, they will start to recognize it and respond positively. 

Do Ducks Learn Their Name?

Yes, ducks can learn their name and there is research to back it up. Ducks are eggs-tra intelligent. They are smarter than you might think. They not only have instincts that keep them safe and with their family, but they can also learn their name.

They can also recognize the faces and voices of their human, especially those that feed and care for them. Ducks are smart birds, and if you consistently call them by their name, starting at a young age, they will lean and respond to it. 

According to research by Harvard University, ducks have cognitive abilities that not only fascinate researchers but to this day remain a mystery. The bottom line of the research stated that duckings may be even smarter than we imagined. How is that for getting all your ducks in a Harvard Research row!

Different Ducks, Different Names

A duck is a duck is a duck, right?

Not so fast, friends.

There are different names for different ducks. For example, a cutie pie baby duck is called a duckling. A group of baby ducks is called a brood. A female duck is called a hen and a male duck is called a drake.

Who knew there are so many names for ducks?

In general, ducks are referred to as waterfowl because they usually live by ponds, streams, lakes, and rivers. Speaking of water, diving ducks and sea ducks are referred to as scaups. In addition, hungry ducks who dip their little feathery heads into the water for food are referred to as dabbling ducks.
