I’m looking for options on ducks specifically. As in the bird. What’s your hottest duck take?

    I miss feeding them bread and wish I’d never found out it was bad for them and can mess up their migratory patterns.

    Ducks float. Because of this fact, they can be used in a NIST traceable system of weights and measures to assess witches.

    That although the ducks at the duck pond are free and can be taken home… Its difficult to keep them at your home unless you have a tempting duck habitat i. e. a pond and lots of grubs, worms and reed plants.

    Please don’t take the free ducks home if you plan on keeping them in your spare room. They will not be happy and will let you know this in there own duckish manor.

  • That they don’t rape anything. They mate in the way they’ve evolved to, and that any human calling it rape is a moron.

    Also, it is overrated on the plate. Good, but not so good that it merits the insanity some folks apply to it. However! I am still happy for anyone to enjoy it for themselves! I’m talking only about the pop culture side of things where it gets hyped beyond realism.

    I think ducks are great for their respective eco systems and I appreciate them as wild animals in a violent state of nature despite knowing about the off putting way they reproduce.

      I always wonder about the context of this exchange… What’s the scenario in which pointing out the existence of legs convinces someone that they are in fact looking at ducks?

        You’re chilling with your buddy and see duck shaped objects in the distance. From your vantage point, the uniquely distinct itty bitty legs of the ducks are clearly visible and the facthood of the ducks (duckhood) is undeniable to you. Your much taller buddy cannot see the legs from his angle and thus a legend is born.

    Its enjoyable to go out late autumn to shoot them in the head while aflight.

    Following winkly’s comment, my most controversial take was when I saw a male duck really going for it, I said: ‘that duck is really trying to rape the female.’ And he just looked at me for a few seconds and just went wut, ‘They’re ducks…’
