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.

    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.
