Yes, some sort of mechanical duck quacks, yes, it flaps its wings, drinks water, and even eats food. Ironically, while the duck test is often cited as evidence of abductive thinking, it is not a test because mechanical ducks are not live ducks yet.
The earliest written references to the "duck test" are sometimes attributed to the 19th-century American poet James Whitcomb Riley, but it turns out that the 18th-century French mechanical duck and its creator, Jacques de Vaucançon Probably inspired this question.

Evaluators were led to believe that the system was a real person rather than a computer.
Let's face it, treating this particular image of a duck like a portrait of Warhol's Marilyn Monroe seemed funny to us. Sit down and check out our roundup of the best duck jokes we've found on the web.
Well, by now you've probably come to the conclusion that a bird is a duck, whether it's wearing a tag or not. When I see a bird that babbles like a duck, walks like a duck, has webbed feathers and legs, and communicates with ducks, I definitely assume it's a duck. This duck almost distracts my train of thought, so I ignore the claims, feeling guilty, and turn in the last part.
I don't understand how my sister Anna can miss any of my characteristic movements on the lawn because her eyes follow me with such precision that they seem to become rectangular, and at some point I turn off the lawn mower to Tell her. There's something about my sister Anna's quirky look that says she's catching your every move, hoarding it like an information curmudgeon or a little judge whose job it is to grab an ugly rag duck.
Our sister Carla walked from our house to the gas station, all in her house dress, looking like a whore sister in orthopedic boots, with curlers torn off at the fringe. My sister Anna needed something fun to do, like walking with ducks and maybe ice cream, so she knew the people in our family weren't a bunch of evil idiots throwing each other on other people's porches. It's like my friends at the Ducks have forgotten that it's been two years since Dora left and there's no one to take our sister Carla to the grocery store, take her to church, to the doctors.
My sister Anna was holding one of the bottles to her chest as she was stuffing duck.
