What should we name them?

This is the third year our cutie little mallard couple has visited. Last year we bought them a little bucket to bathe in. What should their names be?

Help

So my parents and I moved to another house temporarily while our actual is under renovations, and we live in a gated community where there are ducks. Recently there is this duck that comes up to the hill and likes to come over and poop everywhere. It’s the same duck, every single day. Is there a reason why? Is it claiming territory? Is there a way to get it to not come back? English isn’t my first language and I have no knowledge about ducks.

Help with 2 day old duckling

Our mallard duckling is 2 days old. It keeps spitting up thick saliva and continuously trying to swallow (almost like it has food stuck). When we take it out of the brooder (away from food and water) and massage its neck/crop it seems to be fine for a while until food and water are reintroduced. Breathing seems normal and steady, no rattling or coughing. The duckling is active and seems healthy otherwise

Can I introduce a single male duck to a flock of other ducks?

I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit for this question, remove if not.

One of my two male backyard ducks died today and I'm afraid the other is going to get lonely.

I have a friend that is willing to take him, They already have a flock of ducks, male and female, I'm not sure how old exactly but maybe a year?

I'm afraid they won't except him or will harm him. He is male, a little less than 2 years old. it's breeding season and he was the dominant of the two

It won't be up to me how they introduce him but I just want to know that it's possible and he will be okay?
