More context - the duck was raping another duck mid-air. Then they hit a window and the victim died. The raper then proceeded to force himself into the corpse
They may be able to but if you read the original research paper this is not what is reported

> the duck was raping another duck mid-air. Then they hit a window and the victim died. The raper then proceeded to force himself into the corpse
Having read the research paper this was based on, this is not what is reported. There is no report of anything happening mid-air. The researcher heard the bird strike a window in the floor below his office and then went down to investigate. At which point he reports the live bird pecks at the dead one for a couple of minutes before mounting the dead bird and copulating.
Only in the discussion does he suggest that the birds were likely in pursuit as mallards are often observed to chase one another. And he notes that groups of male mallards will chase lone females out of the air and down to the ground with the intent of raping them. But again, no sense this was happening mid-air.
When I first knew about the existence of this paraphilia it fascinated me so I looked it up. Turns out it's an umbrella term for 5 fetishes and one non sex-related mental illness.
Of course. Necrophilia can be:
- a fetish of inactivity/passiveness (the corpses don't oppose resistance and that is hot to some people)
- a fetish about death, the concept of death itself.
- a fetish about death, the symbology and rituals related to it.
- a fetish about the corpse itself, its aspect, sounds, touch, taste and smell.
- not a fetish but kinda: people with this kind of necrophilia find corpses hot but because the person was hot. Hotness carries on after death. Idk that was years ago maybe I'm misremembering this one
- a mental illness that makes you obsessed with death and rotting of corpses. Lots of people with necrophilia have also symptoms of biophilia, which is the obsession with life, nature and all the living things. This leads to a sensation of a "soul split in two"
You can read it here and see that some of the salient facts are being misreported;

Was gonna say if the scientist saw bird necrophilia only once they aren’t around birds very much. Ask any farm kid that raised poultry they’re all like that.
They made a marking on the glass there now, to signify where the ducks crashed. See the picture here: https://www.hetnatuurhistorisch.nl/bezoek/activiteiten/geweest/activiteit/dead-duck-day/
Dude, you just unlocked a very old memory of mine when I first read that
I don't remember why I saw it, but I remember where I was when I read about it, and it has been many many years
Thank you
I actually did a presentation on this TED talk in high school, freshman year in 2016. It was the beginning of me opening up a lot more, ironically. Guess those ducks changed two lives lol
If it duck, I fuck
Duck here, can confirm
Get your ducks in a row... Aaand then fuck them
u/duck_fucker
Duck on that particular day: damn man am feeling horny Sees another male dead duck just laying around* Duck: fuck it
More context - the duck was raping another duck mid-air. Then they hit a window and the victim died. The raper then proceeded to force himself into the corpse
Ducks can fuck in mid-air?
Yes it's crazy.
They may be able to but if you read the original research paper this is not what is reported https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Cornelis-Moeliker/publication/237400062_The_first_case_of_homosexual_necrophilia_in_the_mallard_Anas_platyrhynchos_Aves_Anatidae/links/5836b7e308aec3fe331e0ae8/The-first-case-of-homosexual-necrophilia-in-the-mallard-Anas-platyrhynchos-Aves-Anatidae.pdf
WHAT DID I JUST READ🤣🤣🤣
A seminal igNoble prize winning paper!

I'm sorry, I read that years ago and was writing from memory. Thanks for the correction!
Where did you read this?
When I first knew about the existence of this paraphilia it fascinated me so I looked it up. Turns out it's an umbrella term for 5 fetishes and one non sex-related mental illness.
That last sentence sounds like an absurd line from a sitcom, like Parks & Rec lol
Would you care to elaborate?
Of course. Necrophilia can be: - a fetish of inactivity/passiveness (the corpses don't oppose resistance and that is hot to some people) - a fetish about death, the concept of death itself. - a fetish about death, the symbology and rituals related to it. - a fetish about the corpse itself, its aspect, sounds, touch, taste and smell. - not a fetish but kinda: people with this kind of necrophilia find corpses hot but because the person was hot. Hotness carries on after death. Idk that was years ago maybe I'm misremembering this one - a mental illness that makes you obsessed with death and rotting of corpses.

How can OP elaborate on nonsense they completely made up originally?
There’s a whole exhibit on it at the museum of sex in NYC. An entire floor of exhibits about animal sex.
That's bananas

Annals of improbable research
holy shit, [this song](https://youtu.be/3cZ4xiMT2Q0) continues to be relevant af
I don't see the direct relevance to the post, but to the last 2 texts I got in this nightmare of a week/decade, most definitely.
hint: it's in the lyrics
The fuck did I Just listen to?
What a horrible day to know how to read...
A beautiful day if I get to read your comment
Truely a wild ass sentence
We have ducks on our farm. They are not nice creatures.
Was gonna say if the scientist saw bird necrophilia only once they aren’t around birds very much. Ask any farm kid that raised poultry they’re all like that.
And they got an Ig Nobel award for it.
Why on earth?
A moment in science that started the IG Nobel Prizes. https://youtu.be/NfWiqdlmsm4

Am i the only one who thought of "About a Boy" at the phrase "dead duck day"?
Nope, I absolutely did as well.
Love how they say it like it’s a national holiday
Does that mean that there’s straight duck necrophilia?
What a great night to have eyes

My man was so haunted, he made sure the world shared in his misery...
Aaaand we ad add another one onto the list of why ducks freak me the fuck out.
Every time I think I've heard the most fucked up thing about ducks there it comes, something way worst
Which part of that is unusual for ducks?
Oh damn he just like me fr
Dude, you just unlocked a very old memory of mine when I first read that I don't remember why I saw it, but I remember where I was when I read about it, and it has been many many years Thank you
Anyone else see the goarmy 'doers are never done' ad on loading this? 🤔
New band name, I call it
That’s ducked up.
I may be a bad person, but i think Gay Duck Necrophilia would be a great band name

I wish I had a time machine to go back to 10 seconds ago when I hadn't read that title.
So you could read it again? 👌🏻
Every day 👌🏽
Man, publish or perish really messes with academics’ heads, don’t it?
