Just because it doesn't walk like a duck, or quack like a duck, doesn't mean it isn't a duck.
It might be a black-bellied whistling duck like the ones attracting attention at a man-made pond near Bathurst recently.
Pond owner Hazen McCrea said he wasn't sure what he was looking at when he first spied the birds last week. He said they didn't sound like ducks, and they walked more like humans.
"Is it a duck? It doesn't walk like a duck. It walks, it doesn't waddle," said McCrea.
"That's what confused me. What kind of different funny duck is this?" he wondered.

It then leaps forwards before moving back to land several punches on the man.
His dog then intervenes in an attempt to protect its owner as the roo's attacks intensify, before quickly pulling back.
A pack of stray dogs mauled a nine-year-old boy allegedly to death and grievously injured his cousin in Uttar Pradesh's Amroha district.

"I was working in the field around 50 metre away from the spot where the incident occurred. Suddenly, around ten dogs attacked and started dragging the kids. I quickly rushed to their rescue. After hearing their cries for help, some farmers working in the nearby fields also came and scared the dogs away," said Devesh Chauhan, the uncle of the two boys.
