Here is a bird that lives in New Zealand.
The Mallard Duck.
At the moment these birds are having a bad time in New Zealand, for it’s Duck Season shooting.
Its tough for birds and swans. Its life. Duck shooters have to have a licence to shoot. So say some prayers for the ducks.
Beautiful photo! I agree with Alex.
Thanks so much Ellie.
There is no need to kill the ducks, we are not a hunting and gathering society…ugh. The ducks are so cute.
I agree with you Tzwrites. I hate duck shooting. I suppose some men thinks it makes them better at being many but I don’t believe it.
I think those guys are found everywhere. Trophy hunters suck, but we already knew that…
Thanks Alex, glad to read your comments.
For my part, I am glad to read your posts…
Very unfortunate if this beautiful creature is only a target shot!
Thanks for your comments Albert, truth is that some of these ducks are going to end up as dinner for someone.
Unfortunately Swans and Geese also get shot as well. They end up as dinner as well, and they also shoot pheasants.
Life is a food chain, but it’s sad if life is just become sacrifice to pleasure other creatures.
What a great photo of this beautiful duck. I wish they could be protected form hunters.
So do I but they believe these ducks should be culled.
Love this series Pam!!!!!! Amazing pictures – you do have a lot of bird pictures!
Thanks so much Doc, glad you like the pictures.
very beautiful bird!!!!
Thanks so much Branka.
They have to watch out for those decoys that look like them.
Yes they do and best they don’t get too close. Wise birds go to the parks where no one is allowed to shoot them and they do. Thanks Francisco.
