Okay while I'm on my duck bs: we also have this delightful little guy who seems to be leucistic! The duckling has matching markings to its sibling - just in a golden version. I found more golden ducks discussed in the NZ Birders Facebook page.

I've long criticised the dehumanising and patriarchal partner income test embedded everywhere in the Australian welfare state. The tax on love really does hurt families, and has a real impact on relationship formation or termination.
