Duck
Water Habitats
Ducks are associated with water; use this term for birds commonly seen around ponds and lakes.

Children love feeding the ducks at the lake.
Not Just Any Bird
Use 'duck' to refer specifically to these water birds, not all birds in general.

A sparrow is not a duck; it's much smaller and doesn't swim.
