duck house

Pond bird home

A duck house is a small shelter for domestic ducks, providing protection from weather and predators.

Like a chicken coop but typically lower to the ground and sometimes positioned near water.

The term gained notoriety in British politics during the 2009 expenses scandal, when an MP claimed taxpayer reimbursement for a decorative duck house on his estate.
