Rub-a-Dub-Duck - A Feathered Spa Day in Suburbia!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Eric Lindgren, we witness the glamorous post-bathing routine of a Pacific Black Duck in an unexpected location - a suburban swimming pool! This dapper duck is taking full advantage of its surroundings, indulging in some well-deserved self-care. With feathers glistening and iridescent under the warm Australian sun, our avian friend showcases its impeccable grooming skills. Preening every inch of its plumage with precision and grace, it's clear that this duck knows how to make a splash both in and out of the water. Hailing from Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and the south-west Pacific region, these nomadic ducks are true opportunists when it comes to breeding after rain showers. However, even birds residing in more stable climates can't resist the allure of springtime romance! Measuring up to 60cm long with an impressive wingspan reaching 150cm, this male Pacific Black Duck sports a slightly larger physique than his female counterparts. With his boofy head adding an extra touch of charm to his appearance, he surely turns heads wherever he goes. So next time you take a dip in your backyard oasis or stumble upon an unexpected visitor during your morning swim – remember that even ducks need their spa days too!
