Waterfowl Names...

 From "The Backyard Homestead".


Talking about waterfowl can get a bit confusing. A male duck is  a drake, but a female duck, is called a duck. A male goose is a gander, but a female goose, is called a goose. So a drake is a duck, but a duck isn't always a drake; and a gander is a goose, but a goose isn't always a gander. Got it? Dealing with these fowl groups is much simpler: A bunch of ducks is a bevy and a gang of geese is a gaggle.
