    Such a pretty girl!

    Fun fact: female ducks can gain male traits after their ovaries die later in life. My female mallard is going through duck menopause currently. She got partial male coloring and one of her tail feathers curled. She also acts more like a drake now. She’s 5, so she’s getting up there in age.

      She’s a sly fellow, if I may. The males are green and brown :D
