While Blue Call Ducks are descendants of Mallard Ducks, they are much more similar in coloration to Blue Swedish Ducks. These birds were bred to have booming voices in order to "call" other ducks in for hunters.
The first records of the ingenious breeding and use of Blue Call Ducks to call in other ducks come from the Netherlands. However, their place of origin is disputed amongst experts. Many believe they originated in the Far East.
Being very energetic and active, pet Blue Call Ducks are common through the US today. Their function as hunting tools is less typical, as they are used primarily for decoration and enjoyment.
They are relatively difficult to breed, but easy to care for. This makes them very sought after, but at times hard to obtain. Blue Call Ducks are certain to be a prized bird in any flock that is lucky enough to have them. Like our Black Call Ducks, some will have bibs and some will not. |
