Stupid ponders...
I'm not really thinking straight at the moment but there's something that's annoying me.
Can ducks suck? They kind of... what I would call kerwaffle if I had to name it... yeh. They kerwaffle the water and things. But like can they suck? And what about blowing? If you put a candle infront of a duck could it blow it out? I'm being serious too! I'm really confused and need to know! Please feel free to add more stupid ponders that need answering so I don't feel so silly! |

Well, ducks respire in a similiar fashion to us but I don't think they have the capacity to manipulate air in the same way we do. We use our mouths, lips and even tongue to force air into a distinct "blow" and "suck". So, no, I think they can't.

 Respiration is not to be confused with breathing. Respiration is a chemical reaction within living cells in order to release energy and therefore is the same in all organisms. It is not the processes of in/exhalation or gas exchange. The confusion arises probably because of "artificial respiration" and other misleading use of the term. I'm sorry  Oh, and ducks don't "blow".. Actually, there's an MP3 of Donald duck being given a...erm.. <ahem> (maybe by Daisy Duck) now I think of it, from an American chat show

I reckon if you squeezed a duck hard enough and quickly enough it would produce a big enough exhalation to blow a flame out. The noise would be comical too.

Mind you, bagpipes sound like cats being squeezed anyway.

I think if you had a reeeally small candle then the duck could blow it out, but otherwise no!
