Ducks are a mob in the Exotic Birds Mod
"Ducks are aquatic birds that are found swimming in both sea water and fresh water. They eat a variety of food sources such as grasses, aquatic plants, fish, insects, small amphibians, worms, and small molluscs. Some ducks are dabbling ducks and feed on the surface of the water."

Spawning[]
Ducks spawn naturally in the overworld in groups of two to three. They can be found in rivers and swamps. They will often spawn on water.
Drops[]
When an adult duck is killed, it drops:
- 0-2 feathers.
- 2-3 raw bird meat (2-3 cooked bird meat if killed while on fire).
- 1-3 XP when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
Behaviour[]
Ducks are swimming birds and are able to move about on water.
While in a loaded chunk, a female duck will lay a duck egg every 5-10 minutes when on dry land.
Breeding[]
Ducks will breed if both a male and a female are present. To enter breeding mode, they must be fed wheat seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds or beetroot seeds. A baby duckling will spawn with a 50% chance of being male or female.
Ducklings can also be spawned by hatching a duck egg. An egg with a higher spawn rate will have a better chance of hatching successfully.
Trivia[]
- Notch says that chickens look like ducks.
- Ducks will never be added to Minecraft because they "aren't all they're quacked up to be."
