Is this a duck of some sort?

I can confirm that it's a duck, but not which breed.... perhaps some sort of wood duck?

I realise that's of little or no help - sorry! :oops:

A goose?

I did think the shape was a bit like the Cape Barren goose, but then changed my mind. Do you know what sort of goose it is, then?

Peking duck.

Just give me a day or so with it and my favourite Chinese chef.

According to my good wife's bird book it would be a male Maned (Wood) Duck as distinct from the female which has a whitish line above and below the eye. :roll:

I think it started life as a maned goose (wood duck) with wings from a guinea fowl maybe some cape barren goose thrown in, back tail and legs retained wood duck, the green on the end of the wings? I dunno , maybe something left over from Shreks dinner
