Here ducky ducky ducky. The common black duck. Is best eaten in a stew with rice, onion, carrot, celery, parsnip and a little salt and cooked in water of course . Can be roasted but tends to dry out a little. Is very yummy in the stew. Only able to be aquired during duck season, and with a shooters licence with "Authority to hunt" added. Found on many Australian rivers, lakes, dams and swamps. Can be very cunning if cornered, and has been known to fly at around 70mph, if chased by shooters. Lives in hollow trees and logs. Hatches anything up to 12 or even more ducklings at a time. Will migrate all around the country to migrate all around the country to where the water is. Eats wheat, grubs and small fish. Will also take bread from humans but it is not good for ducky's tummy. His "Cousins" are the Mountain duck, Wood duck, Teale, Chestnut Teale (Protected), Blue Wing Shoveller (Protected) and Pink Ear (Protected too i think). All (apart from the protected, are yummy. Quack Quack!!!
