I have an idea for a new thread...

Rummaging through some family photos today I find this coolest of cool photos! Nothing written on it so no idea when, where or who is in it ... Sadly both my parents have passed on so can't ask them, will have coffee with my uncle next week and see if he recognises anyone ...

We currently have the same problem, but about 8 of them and they make a whole mess in a pool with their [emoji90][emoji34]

Those are Mallards, not indigenous to Southern Africa and invasive. They were brought here as decorative duck and have gone feral.To make matters worse they interbreed with our own Yellowbilled ducks and the hybrids are then fertile and can procreate. Potentially the introduction of Mallard genes can lead to the destruction of at least one indigenous species. They are good eating and I would seriously encourage you to try out that recipe! You will be doing our biodiversity a whole lot of good!

 

Edit: Looking a little more closely, I think those are hybrids already!

And they are the main culprits in carrying the dreaded bird flu as well.

Unfortunately that's what needs to be done according to the bird watchers and controllers.

Same goes for any Guinea Fowl you see with white patches. It is a hybrid between wild Guinea Fowl and domesticated ones. The domesticated ones are almost completely white or light gray with very faint spots. They have very poor mothering instincts and their genes will dilute the breeding success rate of the wild population. That is bad news in a predator heavy environment like Africa.

Jip and we have a few "hybrids" here as well, but one gets some people who go crazy when one plans to get rid of these birds.
