National Duckling Month

National Duckling Month is observed throughout May as a celebration of duckling meat, which is described as a delicacy in many parts of the world. Duck meat is also noted for being high in protein and low in saturated fat.

The month’s background is tied to the history of duck farming and the use of ducks as food. Long Island, New York, was once a major center of commercial duck raising, and the holiday’s first celebration took place in 1989.

How to Observe National Duckling Month

Celebrate by preparing a meal with duckling meat, ordering a duckling dish at a restaurant, or taking a cooking class to learn how to prepare duckling dishes. You can also spend some time learning about ducks and ducklings—or simply enjoy watching them from a respectful distance.
