No, ducks are classified as birds due to the presence of feathers, being warm-blooded and having hollow bones that are adaptations for flight. Amphibians do not have feathers, are cold-blooded and do not have hollow bones.

A duck as with all other birds are vertebrates. They have an internal skeleton and a backbone. Because ducks have VERTEBRAE (backbones), they are VERTEBRATES.

A mammal is a warmblooded animal with hair, that carries their young inside, gives birth to live babies, and has mammary glands, with which they nurse their babies.

A duck-billed platypus is mammal that is an exception to most of the rules: Their young are born inside a leathery-like sac that looks like an egg. They have mammary glands that leak milk through the hair and the baby laps it up. They also have webbed feet, and hair that looks like feathers in the water.

However, a duck is a bird that has no mammary glands, no hair, and gives birth to their young from eggs. No ducks are mammals.

Ducks are not reptiles, they are not cold blooded or have scales. They are birds. They have warm blood, lay eggs, fly and swim.

A duck is a bird. Both birds and amphibians lay eggs. But birds are warm blooded and amphibians are cold blooded. Also, most birds lay eggs on land and amphibians lay eggs in water.

Actually, ducks are mostly aquatic, NOT terrestrial. Since they are mostly found on water.
