Duckling Slides Off Its Mother's Back 

A duck's babies are trying to sleep on her back, and a duckling rolls down a hill. The baby ducks hatched out of their eggs less than a week ago and were still very small and light and were easily blown over by the wind. Every day the ducklings would follow the mother duck around, searching for food by walking on the land or swimming in the water. The mother duck and the ducklings would rest from foraging several times a day and fall asleep safely. The ducklings would fall asleep next to and on top of their mother's back. But sometimes, the wind would blow, and a duckling would be blown off its mother's back by the wind. A baby duck is a duckling with a downy plumage. Ducks are aquatic waterbirds that live on freshwater and seawater; ducks don't have the predatory instinct to hunt, but they will eat small water and land animals, plants, and insects. Food eaten without chewing is how ducks and all birds eat their food because they have no teeth for crushing, and dining on big or small portions by swallowing in gulps is how they feed. A female duck is known as a pen, and a male duck is known as a drake; the duckling is a tiny baby duck with no avian flight feathers but with fluffy plumage, and a young or adolescent duck is much more giant and more confident as a food forager with their avian flight feathers almost grown, and spending less time close to the mother duck.
