Grey Call Ducks
Grey Call Ducks appear to be a miniature version of their breeding ancestor, the Mallard Duck. However, these birds were bred to be much louder than their relative, in order to provide hunters with a decoy to use in the field when hunting other ducks.
The first records of the ingenious breeding and use of Grey Call Ducks to call in other call 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 Gray Call Ducks are common through the US today. Their function as hunting tools is less typical, as their are used primarily for decoration and enjoyment.
They are relatively difficult to breed, but easy to care. This makes them very sought after, but at times hard to obtain. Grey Call Ducks are certain to be a prized bird in any flock that is lucky enough to have them. |
