I don't know about ducks, but sheep definitely have different accents, and different breeds have different dialects                     :sheep: :sheep: 8)

We have a Welsh duck called Evinrude (you'll either get it or you won't), and she definitely quacks differently from Mrs Khaki Campbell, who's Scottish.

They in turn quack differently from the Indian Runners, who are of course.................... Malaysian  ;)

Our's are Muscovy, originally from South America, so feeling a bit of the cold they have now taken to knitting hats and capes for themselves  :knit: , most talented, I believe one of them does triganomatry and another one is an astronomer, most handy on these clear frosty nights.
 
Any video footage of ducks doing marvellous things would be good, or a 3 year old girl's impressions of ducks with dialects most welcome (if you can put such things on computers these days).  And if you have time on your hands bloomer, I'm sure there's the makings of a childrens story in there somewhere.  Get copyright quick.  :D

Apparently song birds have regional variations, aka accents, so I don't see why ducks shouldn't have  :)

I dunno if our have accents, but they are from Somerset, Leicester and Nottinghamshire. 
They understand any language you like as long as you have a lettuce in your hand.
