The Call is a historic Dutch breed of small domestic duck. It is believed to have originated in the Netherlands, where the earliest descriptions and depictions of it date from the seventeenth century. It is similar in appearance to some other breeds of duck, but is much smaller, with a round head and very short bill. Ducks – but not drakes – are very loquacious and noisy, with a piercing high-pitched call that can be heard from far away and from which the name derives. The Call was in the past used as a decoy duck to attract wild ducks into traps.
