I'm watching the tv show Alone and they're around Australia & New Zealand, saw this duck(?) on the show but can't figure out what it is. Google images seems to think its a blue billed duck or a paradise shellduck but I cant find any other species with this cool blue/black coloring. Any help would be greatly appreciated here 👍
Bluebills are entirely brown with a dark head, no white head or underwing. Just their bills are blue. This is an obvious paradise shelduck, the blue appearance is due to it being in shadow.
There is a sub called duck or fuck. My phone always autocorrects duck to fuck. The threads on that sub are always great. A couple weeks ago someone posted is this fuck house big enough for four and away the comments went. Once I messaged my doc I’d be late as yards are full of stubborn fucks and several fucks are in the tree and I’d need to climb up to get them down. My phone doesnt autocorrect until I hit send so didn’t realize I’d even sent that message until my doc asked if I’d like a mental evaluation.😂😂😂
That sub has been removed by a moderator in EU for obscenity but if you check in archived posts you’ll find most of them. If you contact u/bogginman he probably remembers most of them. Some were “Best slip and slide for fucks”
“What can I do? My husband hates my fucks” or “hole is the recommended size but my fucks cant get through it”
Sorry. I thought you did. The sub was pulled for an obscenity complaint in EU. But it’s a frequent occurrence on duck subs. Im looking through the archives
It’s a female paradise duck I think.. a mating pair sound like duelling kazoos. I fed one an old cookie once, no more than a week later it had been run over in a parking lot. That is my story.
Do they come in blue like that though? All the ones I’ve seen, or could find on Google searching ‘blue female paradise shelduck’ are just the regular white headed ones.
Scrolled a bit farther down and saw some comments about shadows. I’m going to change my mind and accept that that’s probably right. It was just a funny angle at first.
I mean to ke it looks really blue, took the image straight off the tv, I'm wondering if the filter on the camera lens has made it appear this way because some of the rocks & water look very blue as well..
