I like ducks. We have a lot of Mallards in the irrigation ponds around here. Much smaller than the American Pekin, as the biggest mallards are about 3.5 pounds but that's at the very top of the scale. Full grown, they can be as light as 1.5 pounds.
(More than you need to know about ducks.)

Around here, we've got a couple of ducks who come and go. Not sure what kind of ducks they are.
