Unfortunately, yes. Sometime during breeding season the male becomes so worked up about mating with a female that he will charge and try to rape her. Yep, the term is "rape" just like in the human world. But the females are usually pretty fast and run or when they get really mad, the females usually directly confront the males. And once she takes that aggressive posture and lets out a few warning quacks, the male usually walks away.
