Synchronism, game or learning?

[frapuchi]

The Anseriformes are provided with a gland for the secretion of fat needed to make waterproof plumage. I have long observed this pair, their movements were very similar, as in the synchronized swimming, it seemed as if the mother instruct the chick how to do this.
I'm not an expert, what do you think?

Franco great series of pics, I particularly like the first of the batch do to the position of the bodies.
The only thing strange is the blue color displayed to the left of the ducks.

Just a note....this section is for a " deep" critique of a particular pic, if you want to display a series of pics like this I would suggest to go to the other section of the forum....in this particular case "nature"

Great series. I spend a lot of time observing wildlife. You did a great job capturing the moment that you spoke of.

Hello"

I'm no expert on ducks/geese. But I have spent countless hours studying Deer and Bears in the area that I live. And I would put big money on your statement, that you are 100% correct.

They learn not from the place they came from, but from the creator of where they are going...

Thanks to all
for the presence of blue color is my fault. I spoke to white to soften the light and unfortunately I did not notice that highlighted blue.
Good Sunday
