We have Whistling ducks in the south, but I have never had the privilege of running across them. They are not, however, Plumed. So I guess our whistling ducks aren't as lucky as yours not being plumed and all. Australia just has all the luck (even your politics are tolerable, right? Or at very least more tolerable than ours :( ).

Poor Mr Eton had the spelling of his name changed to accommodate the taxonomists. On my college diploma my name Latin name for Kenneth was Cynathium (to make up for the lack of a "K" in Latin?) I have no idea of the etymology of that word. The Thesaurus Linguae Romanae et Britannicae defines as follows: "Cynæthium, A citie in Archadie."
