We all get a kick from seeing a fine example of a male bird, adorned in his breeding finery, singing his own praises from on high, but spare a thought for the reserved and retiring birds for whom such self-promotion and self-adulation would be inconceivable.

Mallards , of course, bring new meaning to the term dabbling duck , what with all those wild mallard hybrids and domestic cross-breeds running around. In my experience, Cinnamon Teal x Common or Green-winged Teal hybrids are the rarest; I have seen pictures of only 2 such birds and a 3rd bird (the one mentioned above) in life.

Similar comparisons can be made with other bird features such as how their hips work. Most likely, the researchers have indicated, the hatched birds would be viable and not too different from regular chickens, possibly less different than some of the odd breeds generated by more traditional methods.
