Not really. They may be a bit more 'talkative' than others, but the voice isn't actually any louder. They were originally bred as living decoys for duck shooters, to 'call' in mallard to the gun (that is why the ones the same colour as wild ducks were not so common, avoids confusion). These days they are pets.
