No, a duck is a bird just like a sparrow, seagull or a penguin. Mammals are animals that raise their young on milk. This milk is produced by the offspring's mother. A bird's way of giving their offspring nutrient rich food early on is through a yolk sac. A yolk sac is found in the bird's egg. Before hatching, a chick eats the yolk inside of its egg. This gives them the strength to complete their life's first big test, hatching.

No, it's a bird. It may look like it has fur, but it has feathers. The feathers give birds the appearance of having fur. It also doesn't suckle its young with milk, which none of the birds do. All birds hatch from eggs, and only a very few mammals, called monotremes, lay eggs.
