New research shows ducks like water

these researchers probably can't believe they get paid for this. I guess in fairness they found that the ducks liked a shower more than a pond:

Always be skeptical of a news article that buries the authors of the study way at the end and in a way that it's hard to discern they are even the authors, and never mentions the source of the original publication. You'd think they might be trying to hide something in favor of sensationalism.

Here's a link to the abstract:

It's not about do ducks like water, but in a farm environment, do they NEED water other than drinking water, and what method of delivering the water is best for their welfare.
