Start your own family of hand-made DCUKs

DCUKs, pronounced "Duhk", are a family of hand-made, wooden sculptures. Each one is unique and has its very own name. There are Ducklings, Ducklets, and Adults (who don't get a cutesy name, for some reason).

Pictured above are one Duckling, two Ducklets, and one Adult.

DCUKs are available in 3 sizes


Duckling (small) The babies of the bunch. They're 8-9" tall and love to be kept near to their parents.	Ducklet (medium) Teenagers. Argh. They're 12-13" tall and know everything. Especially that you're a complete moron.	Adults (large) Adult DCUKS are about 18" tall. Some days they wish they could just have a quiet evening alone.

Just like an awkward training seminar, they come with name tags

Each DCUK comes with a name tag wrapped around its neck with raffia.

Just like in real life, you're stuck with the name you're given. However, you can always purchase a blank name tag and write in any name you'd like.

Each DCUK comes with its own name.

You can order blank name tags for your DCUKs
Of course, if you'd like to customize your name, simply order a blank name tag.

Choose from up ten different styles

Do you want a bent over DCUK? What about a Duckling with its head turned sideways? No problem. You can even purchase blank name tags and write in whatever name strikes your fancy.


Sniffing-DCUK.	Righteous-DCUK.	Coy-DCUK.

Please keep in mind that while you can specify a particular sized DCUK and its general demeanor, each DCUK is made by hand. So, there will be slight variations between the DCUKs we have pictured and the DCUK that makes its way to your home.

Happy as clams indoors and outdoors

DCUKs can be kept indoors or outdoors and they certainly won't complain. Because they are made of wood, if you do keep them outdoors, their instructions suggest that you periodically coat them with an exterior varnish on their joints, legs, and feet.

Frequently Asked DCUK questions

Question: Do they move?

Answer: Yes, as long as you're willing to do it for them. These are sculptures, not toys. Their legs and feet do not move at all. They're stuck in whatever position they arrive in.

Question: Can you pet them?

Answer: Yes. And they'll never snap at you.

Question: Are these like garden gnomes, but not as creepy?

Answer: Yes. No offense to the garden gnome crowd, but these DCUKs definitely evoke a "Awww, that's neat" response. Garden gnomes evoke that half-smile, half-sneer response of "Ooooohhhhh, a garden gnome. How...festive." But, different strokes for different folks.

I have a burning question about this product!

Is there something you need to know about this product that we've omitted?

A few customer questions we've answered

Q: Hi, Do you know when more of the adult and duckling bent over models will be available again? Also, may the customer request their own names for the ducks? Thanks in advance for your help.
A: We don't have a definite time frame right now when we'll have more bent over models. For specific names, you can order a blank name tag and write in whatever names you'd like.

Q: hi do you know where to buy dcuk ducks not on the internet
A: While we're sure that there are brick and mortar stores that carry DCUKs wooden ducks, we don't happen to know of any.

Q: We own six dcuks. Is their any recommendation on how to perserve these dcuks? Do we need to apply any type of perservative in order to maintain its luster?
A: DCUKs are made of two different materials, both of which can be periodically treated to maintain their attractiveness. The feet and heads are made of teak, and the bodies are made from bamboo. For the teak part of your DCUKs, you can use "teak oil", which is generally available in hardware stores and many boating stores. Bamboo can be treated with a high grade mineral oil or raw linseed oil. If you prefer, you can actually use linseed oil on both (as teak oil is typically made from either linseed oil or tung oil with some added resins).

Q: I live in northern CA and have seen them in red, green, blue, and black. Do you have any of these colors?
A: No. We only carry the natural color of DCUKs.

Q: If my DCUK runs away, can I have my money back?
A: If you can provide videotaped evidence of a DCUK running away, by all means, email it to us. Such video would be as awesome as watching a dog walk on its hind legs.

Q: Do you ever get tired of answering silly questions such as - What if my duck keeps me up at night quacking - like my mallards do?
A: Of course not. We cherish each and every opportunity that we get to interact with our current and future customers. That said, if your duck is keeping you up at night, we recommend that you purchase our Ambient Sleep DVD to drown out the sounds and put you in a restful state of mind.

Q: You spelt ducks wrong. Are these going to fool birds into real ducks so we can take videos and laugh?
A: These aren't just ducks, they're DCUKs. And they might fool a real duck, but we haven't tried it. If you happen to get footage of a real duck interacting with a DCUK, please feel free to send it our way.

Q: Please, any update on when the bent over model will be available again? I want to get a set of three and one of them will be the bent over model.
A: Unfortunately, the bent over DCUK Bamboo Ducks have been discontinued. We are no longer able to stock this style. We're bummed, too!
