We have a special treat this afternoon: Tara Tanaka, after immense labor (true!), put together this video of a black-bellied whistling duck with a penchant for classical music. Be sure to turn the sound up and make the screen big.
Tara’s Vimeo page is here; her Flickr site is here, and the duck is Dendrocygna autumnalis.
Tara says, “Nothing to say about this, except I hope it makes you laugh.” And clap!
And here I thought these were the Soprano ducks:
He shouldn’t have been feeding them bread, though!
They probably would have had to pay him a lot more to throw a handful of freeze-dried meal worms in the pool :-).
Yeah, I’m not sure Craft Services stocks meal worms, anyway. 🙂
“Hey, we’re in the waste disposal business, Carm, not the meal worm procurement business! He wants meal worms he can pay for them!”
Tony may have loved those ducks, but I doubt he was much for ornithology. He preferred boating and strippers.
I really was expecting a duck that looked and acted like Tony. So…I was kind of disappointed by this one.
Brilliant Tara – some smart editing going on. I refuse to clap though – QuackQuack! is a more appropriate aducklation.

Thanks!
Thanks Michael! It was harder than I’d thought it would be, but well worth it.
I agree.
😂
Marvelous.
Oh, that is wonderful! Bravo!
