Ducks Behaving Badly

If it's a story about homosexual necrophiliac ducks, it could only be a story brought to us by the Princess of Darkness. I am going to refrain from editorializing, and just quote directly from the story in Tuesday's The Guardian (British Newspaper):

"It is not so much that up to one in 10 of mallard couples are homosexual ... but they regularly indulge in "attempted rape flights" when they pursue other ducks with a view to forcible mating."

Hey, Ducks will be Ducks you're saying. But wait until you hear this report from a Dutch Scientist who wrote about the preceeding phenomenon after witnessing this scene outside his office window: "The unfortunate duck apparently had hit the building in full flight at a height of about three metres from the ground. Next to the obviously dead duck, another male mallard (in full adult plumage without any visible traces of moult) was present. He forcibly picked into the back, the base of the bill and mostly into the back of the head of the dead mallard for about two minutes, then mounted the corpse and started to copulate, with great force, almost continuously picking the side of the head. "

And you thought the pincale of sexual deviancy in ducks was Donald's steadfast refusal to wear pants ...
