They are called Magpie ducks – related to the Pekin ducks. Would you believe, they were developed in Wales by a man called Mr Drake! They are quite a rare breed in New Zealand – in fact, I don’t think they’re very common anywhere!
Whatever happened to the country-duck and town-duck thing? Would the town ducks will have a different music? On second thoughts, the music fits everything duckish –even haiku writers.
A town duck would be played by a seedy clarinet, whereas usually a country duck would be played by a pastoral oboe. I hope all waddle in time or they’ll be out for a duck.
Aw, darn. Ducks are so amusing! Perfect duck music.

Are those Muscovy ducks? This really did bring to mind ducks waddling around and having a rant.
