I realize before my female bird lay egg, the male get on top of it from the back for a few second and stop, maybe thats how birds family mate, even ducks and chickens.
Its not like other animal, whom the male insert its penis into the females vagina, birds does not do that way.

Ducks usually look for a mate or partner in winter. The males will attract the females with their colorful plumage or feathers.
The females will then lead the males to their breeding ground in spring. The breeding ground will usually be the place where she was hatched. The female builds her nest with grass or reeds or even in a hole in a tree.
The male will guard their territory by chasing away other couples. Once the female lays 5-12 eggs, she will start to sit on her eggs to keep it warm so that they can hatch into ducklings.
The males on the other hand, will be with the other males. The eggs will hatch within 28 days normally, except for the Muscovy which takes about 35 days to hatch.
The mother duck will keep her brood of ducklings together to protect them from predators. Animals like the racoon, turtles, hawks, large fish and snakes will eat the ducklings.
Ducklings are able to fly within 5-8 weeks. Their feathers develop really fast. When the young are ready to fly, all the ducks will gather in flocks on large lakes, marshes or the ocean to migrate to their wintering home. When the ducks fly, they usually do so in a "V-shaped" or a long line.

Yes. Female ducks to something with male ducks in order to make ducklings (baby ducks). If you ever see a duck on top of another duck (facing the same direction), he is not trying to drown the female, but rather, is attempting to impregnate her.
I don't want to get more graphic than what you are asking for. Perhaps it's just like the 5-year-old kid who asks his father where he came from. After a half-our lecture on the birds and the bees, the kid says, "Hmm. My friend, Johnny came from Toledo."

Ducks don't make babies. They produce ducklings. The male gander has a spirally penis which it inserts into the duck hen. The sperm fertilizes the ovum and ducklings hatcha month later.
