Goth as duck

The duck is reportedly considering going venomous, although worried that a bid to fit in will hurt its cred.

Hmmm... in Melbourne for another day and a half and wondering what to do with it. Should I seek out a sewage pond for a chance to see a weird bird?

Is. . . a Hot Duck a thing?

I don't understand. This is just what this species of duck looks like. I don't… I don't understand.

I do understand why Australian birders would care about this though, this duck is way out of its normal range and this is probably the only chance most of them will get to add it to their lifetime lists. Birders care about this stuff. This kind of thing—random birds that have gotten seriously lost—happens with some frequency, though. Why is this duck the one the internet cares about?

Coz it's hot, ApaMLA. He's real hot.

(Also Melbourne is such a goth heartland we call it "the Holy Land" in some Brisbane goth circles (as in "Draven got fed up with Brissie and pissed off to the Holy Land"), so there's an extra lol there for us black clad Aussies.

Some say the ducks went to Canada, others say Toronto. And some people think Joe used to sit down there -- near those ducks. But it could be that there's just no room in this modern world for an old man and his hot goth ducks.

The Cut is faithless, NY's mandarin duck has the harlequin golden age villain vibe that I crave

As it happens, last time I was in Melbourne, I encountered some goth swans. I mean, black plumage, choker collars...

Quack
Quack
Let it all out
These are the crumbs I can do without
Come on
I'm quacking at you
Come on

I want to quack you like an animal
I want to feel you from the pond side
I want to quack you like an animal
My whole existence is webbed
You get me closer to bread
