We can see an example of this interbreeding on many lakes and ponds worldwide, where domestic ducks have been released and bred with the local Mallard population. Since all of our domestic duck breeds (except the Muscovy) are descended from the same species (the Mallard), they can interbreed with one another and any wild Mallards that fly into the breeding pen! For example, the Indian Runner and Pekin are breeds of duck descended from the Mallard ( Anas p. It is used to describe domestic animals that have been artificially bred for specific qualities and characteristics for several generations until they breed true. There are different species of ducks found in the wild (wildfowl) and by specialist breeders in captivity (ornamental ducks or ornamental wildfowl).Ī breed is a domesticated subset of a species. If either micro:bit receives a radio message ( any radio message), a duck icon appears on its display, so you should only ever have 1 duck visible at any time.A species is a group of animals that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

When you shake it, it sends the word ‘DUCK’ on that radio group and clears the screen.

It doesn’t matter what number you pick as long as your friend’s micro:bit is using the same group number, and no-one else nearby is using the same group.

Groups are like channels on walkie-talkie radios they can be number between 0 and 255. The program first sets the radio group to 23.

It uses the micro:bit’s radio function to send data from one micro:bit to another when the accelerometer detects a shake gesture.

Flash this program onto two micro:bits, shake one and a duck appears to travel magically through the air from one to the other.

Make a duck fly invisibly through the air from one micro:bit to another.
