How smart are mallard ducks?
I have raised mallard ducks for many years now and I have observed them of having considerable intelligence. They can identify and return to familiar geographical areas, respond to voice commands, and have many ways of communicating with each other. If you look at a mallard duck's head, its skull is larger than that of most birds, so you can assume that it has more space for a brain. This is the same with most waterfowl I believe.
If a pair of mallard ducks mates at the same location every year and the female gets killed by your puppy will other ducks mate and nest there the following year?
Probably not. They usually mate for life, and unless very young they won't accept another mate. He may come back next year alone, unless he considers it a dangerous place now. The rest of his flock may or may not come back. Once one is killed, they may deem the place too dangerous to raise babies there.

Why do white ducks hang out with mallard ducks?
The Mallard duck is the ancestral precursor to all domestic ducks except Muscovy ducks. The white ("Long Island duckling"), type of farm pond duck descended from and can still interbreed with mallard ducks. Although the domestic ducks are usually significantly larger, feral ducks often revert to mallard characteristics after a few generations. The mallard is the essential "type O" duck that dominates the duck gene pool. They're native only to the Americas but because of introduction they have been established on every continent except Antarctica. Mexican Ducks and Hawaiian Ducks are also mallard hybrids, and ornithological scientists now generally agree that all Black Ducks in existence are now carrying mallard DNA. They hang out with the white ducks, and vice versa, because they're "cousins" and share the same habits and characteristics in feeding, breeding, and nesting.

If a duck sits in water overnight and the pond freezes could the duck's feet freeze in the ice?
Yes. I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. On Friday morning (January 23, 2009) I saw in a pond along the Oregon Pike several ducks that were frozen in the ice. Today (Wednesday, January 28, when I went by the same pond, the ducks, five or six of them were still there, either frozen in the ice and/or covered with snow. Obviously they were dead.
