Why do ducks preen? It’s not vanity—it’s survival! Reba, our Red-breasted Merganser, spreads oil from a gland near her tail to waterproof her feathers. When she rubs her face across her feathers, she’s applying that oil so she can stay clean, dry, and warm in the water. | Peace River Wildlife Center - PRWC

Pretty boy swag😮‍💨🪶 Ducks preen frequently to maintain the waterproofing and alignment of their feathers, ensuring they stay warm, buoyant, and flight-ready. Regular preening also helps remove dirt, parasites, and other debris. Ducks waterproof their feathers by spreading oil from their preen gland during grooming. This oil creates a protective layer that prevents water from soaking into their feathers. #duckhunting #duckhunter #waterfowlhunter #waterfowlphotography #publiclandhunting

Our ducklings have grown loads! Including Vera Here they are wet preening after getting out of the water. ❔did you know❔ Ducks protect their feathers with something called preen oil, which is produced from the uropygial gland located near their tail. They then rub their bills against the opening of the gland and smooth it over their feathers, which helps keep them waterproof! | RSPCA Mallydams Wood Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Centre

During late winter and spring, wood duck pairs often engage in what humans would call "affectionate" behavior. Having strong seasonal pair bonds, males and females stay close together, with the male often seen perched atop his mate's nest box. Another fairly common behavior is mutual preening, or more formally known as allopreening, in which the male and female softly preen the neck or face of their mate.
