This is the musk duck which has lived at Tidbinbilla for 26 years! Flightless and captive-raised. Successor to Ripper who was also captive-raised

Great to know, he certainly didn’t mind posing for photos!

He’s a real show-off. Often goes through the splashing/whistling display, although he’s never had a mate
