Talking Duck: During the Australian duck mating, like humans, spoke like- 'You bloody flower', also made the sound of closing the door rapidly

 You must have heard parrots singing or talking like humans many times.  Let us introduce you today to the Australian musk duck, which imitates many other types of voice including human language.

 Nature is wonderful and she continues to give proof of this.  In a recent research, an Australian Musk duck has been recorded saying 'You bloody flower' like humans during mating.

According to a report by London's 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences', a male musk duck named Ripper in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve in Canberra, capital of Australia, repeatedly said "You bloody flower" in human voice.  has been recorded.  Not only this, this duck can also make out the sound of the door closing.

Kate explains that Ripper was raised in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve since childhood by the same caretaker.  It is possible that these words must have been heard from the caretaker again and again and then gradually started imitating them.

 The recording was done for the purpose of recording the mating of the Australian duck.

This recording of Ripper was made in 1987 by ornithologist, Peter J.  Made by Fullagar.  The purpose of which was to record physical activities in addition to the sounds during the mating.  Kate says, "In the recording, the ripper was found imitating the sound of the door closing. Apart from this, he was repeating 'You Bloody Fool' over and over again. According to Kate, the last word is 'Food' or 'Fool' Yeh Clear  No. It depends on the listener. But this incident is no less than a surprise."

Earlier the Musk duck was found to imitate the Pacific Black duck

 Musk ducks have the ability to mimic the sounds of their environment.  In the year 2000, a second male duck was recorded in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve itself.  In the recording, the male musk duck was seen imitating the Pacific black duck.  Researchers say that both these events prove that musk ducks, especially those that have been reared in the same place, have the ability to imitate the sounds around them.

Let us tell you that a few days ago in Sydney's Taronga Zoo, a bird was heard making a sound like the cry of a newborn baby.  This voice was recorded by the people working in the zoo.  According to him, this voice was that of a superb lyrebird which is adept at learning from its surroundings and imitating others.
