I’m looking for options on ducks specifically. As in the bird. What’s your hottest duck take?
they are dirtier and smell worse than chickens
Swans and geese are just big ducks.

Anatidaephobia isn’t real.
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.
To know the answer you need to go duck yourself
I was shocked when I learned that male ducks have corkscrew penises and that ducks mostly reproduce through gangrape 😳
These facts changed my opinion of ducks
That’s not really a controversial opinion. It would be controversial to say: “don’t judge an entire species that acts out evolved behaviors and instincts based on human concepts!” People often justify hunting a species to extinction based on having anthropomorphized them first and identified a “character flaw”. They are wild animals, literally and officially dinosaurs. It’s your own fault for seeing them as cute little disney characters in the first place. I mean, many species (including humans) literally kill babies of other animals and eat them raw. I don’t do that and don’t eat meat, but I can still appreciate cats, who do.
The corkscrew penis is wild because I’m under the impression that it evolved that way so that it would be harder for the female ducks to escape, that is so fucked up.
It’s weirder and more depraved than that: their penis explodes out of them in what is called explosive eversion and they have to regrow them every year. This is so they can find their way down the maze of duck vaginas
Where do you get the need to regrow them part? I didn’t see anything about that in the linked article. And the “explosive” part just means they erect them really fast.
It’s not talked about in the paper I linked. Aside from that, it appears that I’ve remembered it incorrectly or it was misreported when I learned about it. It appears that their penis simply shrinks and is almost vestigial until the next breeding season, when it grows again and gets bigger depending on how many males are in the area
What the duck?
Nature is so wierd. A strange force where persistence and randomness intersect in all sorts of ways.

It is a true joy in life to sit back and enjoy a duck butt when you’re sitting by a lake and one does that little flip-dunk.
Their meat is delicious.

I don’t give a duck
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.
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.
Muscovy Ducks are as obnoxious as geese
Deep down inside they all wish they were a goose.
Its enjoyable to go out late autumn to shoot them in the head while aflight.
Or anywhere really.
