💡 Fun Fact

Ever wonder why ducks never seem to get cold or wet? They are the original inventors of waterproof technology! Ducks have a special “uropygial gland” near their tails that produces a secret oil. They use their beaks to spread this oil over their feathers, creating a seal so tight that even when they dive underwater, their skin stays completely dry. This natural raincoat is exactly why they can stay healthy in conditions that would make a chicken fall ill!
