One of the most well-known domesticated birds is the duck. In earlier times, only village women reared ducks to meet their family's financial and meat needs. Although duck rearing has now started on a large scale at the farm level, who does not like to see the free-range ducks roaming around in the ponds and drains of the countryside.*
I've always wanted to own one but I never got the chance. Ducks are calm creatures when seen silently gliding on the water.
