How Fast Is Mallard Duck?

Mallard ducks fly at 100 km/h and can travel 1,200 km non-stop on migration. The red-breasted merganser — a duck cousin — holds the record for fastest level flight by any bird, at 161 km/h.

Mallard ducks are the ancestors of nearly every domestic duck breed in the world — selective breeding from wild mallards has produced over 50 distinct breeds.
