Australia
am looking for the meaning that is used in Australia, when one calls another a 'Wood Duck', what does this actually mean?

wood duck
it means the person mainly eats seeds and feeds by dabbling on land

Range map
I'd like to see a reference for the range map. How do we know it's not plagiarism or original research? Calibas 02:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

15 or 88?
"The ducklings may jump from heights of up to 88 m (290 ft) without injury."

That sure is amazing. Especially when Wikipedia in other languages only has them jump 15 meters (about 50 ft). Is there any reliable source that has them jump from this incredible height? --Anna C. (talk) 21:47, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Why would anyone want to hunt such a beautiful animal? People are sick. "Oh it's for food", no sorry, you're sick, admit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.71.40 (talk) 08:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
