I can be sleeping soundly in bed and all of a sudden Wilbur has his mouth over the tip of my nose and HECK that hurts a lot. Then he licks it but i never know if he's going to bite my nose again. Mandie likes to do her little love bites too but not on the nose. She'll bite the front of your leg where there is not much cushioning. Cats have sharp teeth but i know it's love bites and it is cute.....but painful at times. Ducks have little sharp teeth. Cats have big sharp teeth. But it's all about the love.....

Some will climb in our laps for attention which is cute (the geese do especially), but if we don't toss the food out fast enough, one male pekin with a dark orange bill will come up and bite. We've nicknamed him Biter.

Bites because he loves, eh? I wonder if that's why Peepers the Satanic Conure bites me. Or maybe it's just because he's a douche. (I love him but he's quite douchey.)

Now I'm covered in bruises. He's a sweetheart in his own way but painful too. I suggest that people never raise a single duck - those raised with a buddy are not normally biters. But that's just my experience and you can always have a duck who surprises you, of course. If anyone is considering getting a pet duck, search out lots of information first. Tiff has good info on this site for people thinking of getting a pet duck. Be sure to read it and ask questions of people with ducks.
