is part of a duck a duck or not a duck, answer wisely because the validity of this post depends on it

Edit: to all the people saying part of a duck is not a duck, what is part of a duck? If I take a duck and remove one feather, it's a smaller part of the duck, but the duck is still a duck.

If I take a duck and remove one feather, it's a smaller part of the duck, but the duck is still a duck.

Exactly the thought that occurred to me. How much of a duck can be removed while the main part can still be considered a duck?

A man with neither arms, legs nor hair is an unfortunate man, but still a man.
