A male duck is referred to as a 'drake' when he reaches adulthood. Similar to other bird types, the drake can be spotted easily because he has brightly colored feathers or plumage that he uses to attract hens. During mating season the drake becomes susceptible to predators because the plumage makes it so he is unable to fly.
