As I said to my grandson, if it waddles like a chicken and quacks like a chicken, it’s probably a duck.

Ian Short:
What I actually said was “…it’s probably a small-billed waterfowl of the Anatinae family”.
Doug Jacquier to Ian Short:
While you’re educating him: What’s the difference between a duck? Nothing. One of its feets is both the same.
Ian Short to Doug Jacquier
Or, as per my version of an old Birmingham riddle: Q. Why a duck when it spins? A. The higher the faster.
