Sporcle Quiz: Waterfowl Idioms

As much as I love studying the biology and natural history of the animals in our care, one of my favorite topics is learning about all of the ways in which they intersect with our history, our culture, and yes, our day-to-day language.  Consider the Anseriformes, the order of birds that contains the ducks, geese, swans, and screamers.  There are an amazing number of idioms that we use that refer to these birds - I don't think a day goes by without me hearing or reading at least one of them.

How well to do you know your waterfowl-themed sayings?  Play our latest quiz and find out!
