Sign A Day - Duck

The American Sign Language sign for "Duck" is a variation of the sign bird. The difference between "duck" and "bird" is minimal. With "bird", you use only your pointer finger and thumb. With "duck" you use your entire hand.

For illustration purposes, the graphic below is for "bird". Don't forget when saying "duck" you use all four fingers on top and quack twice with your fingers and thumb coming together to represent a duck's beak.

Duck is made by placing your right hand to the side of your mouth with your thumb parallel with the ground and your four fingers closed against your thumb as illustrated above. You open and close your fingers/thumb twice in order to "quack" like a duck.
