Gay Ducks/UK Extinction

[edit]

Probably should use something from this source. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/4962394/Blue-Ducks-likely-to-die-out-in-UK-after-male-birds-get-together.html 12.29.46.19 (talk) 13:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No such article. Is this the same blue duck ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.124.34 (talk) 16:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taxonomy is selfcontradictory

[edit]

Intro puts it in shelduck family. Taxonomy subsection says that it is no longer so classified. Which is correct — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.124.34 (talk) 16:17, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Righto, tried to clear that up a little. Taxobox now says Anatinae, which seems to be the most recent state.--Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:03, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blue duckWhio – This bird is increasingly being referred to as a "Whio" in New Zealand, particularly in the NGO space, when compared to the current name. Sources which use the name Blue Duck often do so alongside the name Whio, while people referring to the bird as a Whio are less likely to refer to the name Blue duck.

Post-move contribution

[edit]

Post-move contribution. Was reading this New Zealand Herald (largest NZ newspaper by circulation) article from May 2022 and it doesn't even give the English name any longer. So I came here to check whether a move to whio has already been considered. Schwede66 09:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
