I have had my female mallard for 4 months just yesterday she flew about 25 feet and landed. Anyway will she fly further as she grows older or will she always fly short distances?
Answers:
Wild mallards migrate, so of course she can. The thing is, it doesn't need to. If have had it that long, it has learned that you have food and water there for it. It will only fly away if a dog chases it to where it flies too far for it to come back, or if it wanders away because it doesn't have any food. They're like chickens, they'll stay where the food and water is. If you've had it since it was a duckling, there's an even better chance it won't go anywhere but maybe across your yard, or on your roof or a tree if she's in danger.
Are you sure you have a mallard though?
Rouen ducks look exactly like mallards but they can only fly a few feet off the ground for about 25 feet at the most.
yes
ya she can fly longer then that.
mallard ducks migrate so they better be able to fly!
