It is a duck, and it is a Mallard, meaning a male duck. We can agree on that. But here is the challenge--what does it say? Traditionally, the answer has been "Quack quack". But lately, a new-age splinter group has advanced another theory. The Mallard says "Mack mack". Devastating. How will this affect the millions of us who have confidently imitated the Mallard by holding their nose and loudly enunciated "Quack"? And what will this do to the duck call business? I shudder to think. The only good news in this story is that you can get the brass-plated, epoxy-filled, 4½" wide suncatcher of the Mighty Mallard for a mere $4.00. Don't worry about shipping; we should be concentrating on the duck's language and what it means to our future.No, he is not a loon, and the feeling is mutual.
