Working his way into the Einstein impersonation biz?
i will email this picture to my sister and ask her. she is an ornithologist. she should know such things.
she's trying her best hat out before Ascott.
just to let you know, ms. ornithologist is doing some research into the duck's head-thingy. i will let you know what she finds out.
great thanks. keep us posted. it's good to think we've got people working round the world on this !
I think you've discovered Don King duck! (I hope it doesn't turn out that he has some nasty head tumour and I've just been flippant about it)
turns out they are bred to look htat way that way, two posts down feisty girl left a link for more info. ms. ornithologist also says this: "breeding two cresteds causes some ducklings to die in the shell due to skull deformities...not the nicest thing to be doing to poor little unhatched ducks."
ewww. that's not very nice !
and thanks for all your duck info. i'll write it all down (pun intended)
