This is very normal.
They do it for a few reasons.... they will do it to each other when they start to mate, they do it in the wild before flight, and they will do it when they see someone approaching. Ducks have monocular vision, so their depth of field is not good, so they cannot tell how far away something is, the head bobbing helps them assess this

Try covering up one of your eyes then move towards something. That is how they see, they have their eyes on the side of their heads, so have good all round vision as they are prey species, but not good depth of field. They can also see excellent colour ranges and can see UV light that we cannot, colours look much brighter to them, they also have excellent detail vision as they have more cones than rods in their eyes.

If I tried to do that would probably fall flat on face!dorsetduckowner said:
