Fun Facts About Ducks

Ducks have the ability to control each of their eyes independently. The information they take in with one eye is stored in their memory on the opposite side of their brain!
Waterfowl will communicate with others in the nest to synchronize their development in order to try and hatch around the same time. They also learn to recognize the sound of their mother’s voice nearby.
Their bills of ducks are highly sensitive with many touch receptors, similar to those in our fingertips and palms!
