Why is my duck vibrating

[Ducklover4892]

Hi so whenever i pick up my duck and hold her she vibrates, what does this mean?

She's scared.

Someone asked this question a while ago and others have seen this behavior but no consensus on its meaning.

Ducks sometimes "purr" when held. If she liked being held this is a distinct possibility. If she isn't tame, she might be shaking from fear. If it's unusually chilly, or she's not fully feathered, she might be shivering. It could be a disease, but this is very unlikely with the other alternatives.

Could be angry, excited, or scared. Mine do it most when they are pissed off.
