It is well agreed that there is something simply adorable about ducks. Is it their little tiny waddle when they walk? The appearance of soft, webbed feet? The hair that stands on end or the big eyes that look so very innocent? Even more touching than seeing an adorable - and sometimes humorous - duck, is the sentimental feeling people tend to get when they see a family of ducks walking along, taking their time to look around, huddle, take a swim, play, eat and take yet another walk around just for the apparent fun of it.
While Halloween has, in many regards, become a Halloween of scary costumes and eerie - if not intimidating - notions, the idea of wearing a duck costume really brings about the innocently fun aspects of this holiday. Particularly if you shop online, duck costumes can be purchased in almost any size for people of all ages. There are huge duck costumes that are sometimes intended to be mascots at sports games, but these could also be worn as a Halloween costume. There are fancy duck costumes that may have a hint of pink for a woman or girl, and most popularly are the baby duck costumes - which tend to be softer and attract a lot of attention just as baby ducklings certainly do!

Duck quacks do echo.It is a scientific myth that a duck's quack does not echo. Research has shown that a duck's quack does echo, but it is hard to hear because it is difficult to distinguish the quack from the echo.There are several reasons why it is difficult to hear the echo:Echoes are produced after loud noises. Ducks quack very softly, so the reflected sound is difficult to hear.A reflecting surface is needed to hear an echo. Ducks tend not to live near reflecting surfaces such as cliff faces or buildings. An echo could be heard more readily if the duck quacked whilst flying past such as surface.

I did some research on this topic and the most popular costumes on the world wide web seems to be batman costumes, spiderman costumes and costumes of animals such as cows, cats and dogs. The reason is that people like to dress up as heroes and dressing up as animals can also be very cute.

A male mallard duck has a shiny, green head. A female is brown. But when does this difference take place? all chicks look alike when they are hatched. when does the transformation take place? at what age or stage?
