Why should ducks fly upside down?

Because when they flap their wings there is an upward force called lift that acts against drag to push them forwards and against gravity to keep them up. A duck flying upside down would very quickly end up with its head buried in the turf. Doesn't mean they can't occasionally perform barrel rolls and loop-the-loops though...

Same reason you do not walk about on your hands - do you???? The wings would have to be re-aligned and then their heads and in the end they would be flying upside down the right way up.

the same reasons why birds and pigeons don't fly upside down.

Why don't they fly in a 40 degree angle?

Because they wouldn't be able to duck when they come to cables from electricity pylons.

They don't care who they cr*p on.
