How to Choose a Name
Watch a new duck for several days before deciding. A name may come from plumage, voice, speed, curiosity, favorite sleeping spot, or a harmless habit. Avoid names that sound too similar when several ducks need to learn routines, and choose something you will still enjoy saying at feeding time years later.
