We have two ducks that have started to frequent our back yard.
They come up to the back door and knock with their bill to let us know they have arrived - and are hungry.
We have a pair - so maybe one day we will have ducklings too
For the purpose of this post I had to look up whether it was bill or beak.
The Oxford English Dictionary has this definition of bill:
The beak of a bird, especially when it is slender, flattened, or weak, or belongs to a web-footed bird or a bird of the pigeon family.
