ducks dont have nerve endings at the bottom of their foot, so my guess is, that they don't get cold
I for one am going to query this. If they had no nerve endings they wouldn't be able to walk as they would constantly fall over. Therefore I have concluded that the above statement is probably false
Ducks have two valves very close to each other in their legs. Blood on the way to a duck's foot cools and it warms as it comes back up and passes the warmer valve. As the foot gets colder the valve widens to allow more blood through. But it is also true that ducks do not have nerves in their feet.
AnswerScientists say that duck, geese and swan feet don't get cold because of the circulation in their legs, but after observing geese for years I have to question that theory. On most cold days you will see the waterfowl seated to keep their feet warm. I know they are cold because not only are they seated, most have their necks contracted, their wings pulled tight to their body and their beaks tucked. I think they do feel the cold, but not as much as we do.
