Ashley, the community will appreciate your photos much more if you give them some context: a meaningful title, description, optionally some tags, and if you know the species, a species identification. Large sets of photos without any title or description will not be seen by many users, as they will never come up in search results. Posted 11 years ago

The Domestic mallard

Domestic ducks (mainly mallard, Anas platyrhynchos domesticus, with some Muscovy ducks, Cairina moschata domestica) are ducks that have been domesticated and raised for meat and eggs. A few are kept for show, or for their ornamental value. Most varieties of domesticated ducks, apart from the Muscovy duck and hybrids, are descended from the mallard, which was domesticated in China around 2000 BC.
