Call Ducks

Call ducks are one of the sweetest animals on earth. They are the smallest breed of domestic duck, with the largest personality ever. Calls are known for their friendly, constant chatting nature. They come in a range of colours form white - black and everything inbetweem.

Calls in Australia are still a breed under construction and do not have any clout on the international show circuit. It is a widely held belief that the calls are a natural dwarf mallard, this is often said due to their similarity in size and distinct rounded featurtes.

Call ducks make an eccelent pet, being small they are easy to handle and very friendly. Call ducks are still in short supply and are quiet hard to come by. Everything about a call should be miniature and more rounded compared to the mallard.
