The trend of raising ducks calls

Until now, we all consider ducks as poultry that often appear on the dinner table. This perception was completely disrupted by the appearance of the call duck – Call Duck.

In recent years, ducks have become one of the favorite pets of young people, and even raising them has become a trend on social networks, especially in China and Japan.

The trend of raising call ducks, which began to become popular in China, is related to Vuong Tu Thong – the son of billionaire Vuong Kien Lam, the founder of Van Dat Group, which owns the second largest real estate chain. China.

It is known that Vuong Tu Thong used hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a foreign breed duck as a pet, which is called a duck.

At that time, the name duck was still quite strange to the Chinese. But after discovering the cuteness of this duck, young Chinese people have begun to receive new “knowledge”, calling ducks to the list of the most worthy pets. So in recent years, people buying, selling and raising call ducks have increased rapidly.

It is known that the call duck, also known as the decoy duck, is a small duck (bantam) of domestic ducks.

In terms of appearance, call ducks have a very clear difference with common domestic ducks. Caller duck has a round body covered with white feathers, a small yellow beak (not as long as a domestic duck), short legs, and large round eyes. These characteristics have made call ducks capture the hearts of many young people. Therefore, it is normal for this duck to become “feverish”.

The call ducks were originally used in hunting (waterfowl hunting). Their cries will attract wild ducks towards the hunter’s guns at the ready. Today, this practice has been almost completely replaced by artificial duck calls, so call ducks are now kept mainly as pets or for decorative purposes.

The first recorded note of the breed is from the Netherlands. Accordingly, call ducks are used as bait with extremely high and loud calls to attract other ducks into the trap.

However, not everyone can raise call ducks, because it costs both money and effort. The price of a call duck starts at 5,000 yuan (more than 17 million VND), even up to 15,000 yuan (more than 51 million VND) if grown up.

Although the price of call duck has not decreased, but only tends to increase day by day, but this cannot make the Chinese elites falter. Many people even choose to raise ducks from the egg to both experience the nurturing process and save costs.

The method of raising call ducks is equally difficult. Raising ducks naturally requires space for them to swim. This will be a challenge for living spaces that are not large enough. Moreover, because we cannot control the need to excrete ducks, it often causes unpleasant odors. The process of handling and deodorizing is extremely laborious. Finally, call ducks have a very loud call, which can affect the lives of the owners themselves and their neighbours.

That is not to mention how to choose the food and the temperature of the water for the duck to bathe. Raising ducks is an extremely laborious and meticulous process.

For many young people, cute animals are not only pets, but also a place to send their spirits. It can be said that keeping a pet has become a measure to help “heal” the soul, both creating more joy and having more companions in life.
