Ducks raise their heads too
When things are getting arduous, we sometimes feel hopeless and tend to look above as one way of asking for some help from God. Under such circumstances, we surrender ourselves and seek God.
A few days ago, I came across two ducks beside our house raising their heads upward. Because it's the first time I have seen such action from them, I thought of taking a photo of it which is placed below.
Why do they raise their heads like this? That's a question I want to get answered. But I don't actually ask my family or my neighbors about it because they might find it funny. Anyway, I surf the web and look for some answers and I have summarized the things I found.
The first one I found is a trait I am lacking, lol, and that is flirting. Yes, you read it right. According to Farmbase (n.d.), to attract a mate, male ducks would rush after the female and make erratic head bobbing motions. Either gender may do this to attract others.
I find it amusing and enlightening because it's only now that I found out about such a thing. Before, I just didn't mind what they were doing. But due to boredom sometimes, I don't know why I notice even things like that, haha.
Another thing I found is that, it means they are curious. They tend to look at the surroundings and scan directions to look for something such as some food they may eat.
In conclusion, I just learned that ducks are very passionate and always show their affection toward others. Their weird actions aren't just simply done for exhibition; they have meanings and one of which is what I have presented in today's simple blog. Thanks for reading!
