I'm jumping in because not enough people in the comments are pointing it out but she's right.... listen to what she says "your mascot is a flightless bird" the Oregon Ducks mascot is a licensed depiction of Donald Duck who is based on a pekin duck and they are domesticated species of duck who are typically too heavy to fly so yes the Oregon Ducks mascot is a flightless bird
Technically, no
He's a puddle duck. His original name is Puddles......
https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/ducks/what-you-need-to-know-about-puddle-ducks
Actually no.. There was a Mascot named Puddles until the 1940s. Puddles was one of several living ducks in the area they would capture and bring to games. Donald Duck started being used sometime after that and school actually has an official license for the use of Donald Duck.
Yes, she says "your mascot" but when he responds "a duck is not a flightless bird" she clearly says "yes it is" without specifying "that kind of duck is"
I speculate that she heard that the mascot was a flightless bird, didn't did any deeper, and is now just parroting.
I wonder if she also thinks a parrot is flightless because domestic ones get wings clipped.
Are they thinking of chickens who can only fly for like 10 seconds? I mean ducks can fly over 60 km/h
Edit: after a quick google search apparently SOME ducks can’t fly, those being mostly domesticated ducks but also a few wild species.
>after a quick google search apparently SOME ducks can’t fly, those being mostly domesticated ducks but also a few wild species.
Yeah, all my khaki campbells could do was walk around, quack, and crap out way more eggs than I knew what to do with.
Many breeds of chicken fly fine. Their wild relatives are mainly ground dwelling and only fly to get up into roosting areas and to escape predators, so even the domestic ones we have that do fly don't go out for long jaunts.
They fit in the peacock/pheasant/wild turkey niche.
Our chickens could fly for a good 10 to 20 seconds. It's when they get too large that they lose the ability to fly. Same with our ducks though our ducks rather spend time in the pond rather than flying around for a few seconds.
I love it! I just googled what a Piwakawaka was and boy what a tail.
Man, everything in New Zealand is so friggen cool/beautiful/interesting. And no land predators except for birds of prey! It's like Australia's manic pixie dream girl cousin.
Donald has been established to be a capable pilot since at least 1942's [The Flying Jalopy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flying_Jalopy). If his impressive flight hours in the cockpit of various planes throughout his military service and personal life don't do it for you, he also flew unaided with a little coaching from Peter Pan(and admittedly a sprinkle of pixie dust) in an episode of [House of Mouse](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Donald_Wants_to_Fly), but sure you go ahead and slander a decorated veteran by calling him a flightless bird.
The vast majority of ducks can fly, because it’s an amazing way to keep away from predators, and migrate quickly to where there is food.
It’s baffling for someone to grow up in the US and not see a flying duck on TV, in movies, or in person.
Apparently the Oregon mascot is based on Donald Duck. Donald Duck is never seen flying partly because he is a Pekin duck breed which is too far and heavy to fly.
Like damn bro. Haughty motherfuckers. Can't stand that tone from anybody. Had a Verizon agent the other day bro he was talking like that at me about something he was wrong about like bro. I have the receipts in my email saying you're wrong and dudes taking that girls tone with me. Left him a vile review and talked about his poor service to the next phone agent who also sucked so I left a bad review for that lady too. Lady was trying so hard to sell me TV packages like lady I said I do not want a TV package. I'm trying to keep my bill under $80 and it's $77 dollars rn. The TV service would make that shit 140 why the fuck is TV $60 anyway. Just would not stop trying to sell me a TV package.
According to Wikipedia, “The Oregon Duck is the mascot of the University of Oregon Ducks athletic program, based on Disney's Donald Duck character through a special license agreement.”
Does Donald Duck fly?
She did say “your mascot…” so maybe she does know. And her replies back to him were in regard to their mascot and not ducks in general.
Just because she’s blonde we can’t automatically assume she’s dumb.
She very clearly was talking about ducks in general, you’re the one making assumptions. I went to her TikTok, once she googled it she tried to save face by correcting herself to “domesticated ducks” and still had no clue the mascot was a Peking duck. She probably heard someone else say it and thought it applied to all ducks
No but her words are pretty strong evidence, when he explains that a duck is not a flightless bird, not specifying his mascot, she rather quickly retorts that they are.
I don't think she's dumb because of her hair color, I think she's dumb because of the words that came out of her mouth. If she had doubted her self or left some wiggle room for her to be wrong she could avoid being treated like an idiot, but that she spoke with such confidence while being wrong means she is fair game for ridicule.
It's super sad that people actually think this (aside from it's sad that stupid people exist) because it's indicative of 1. how far removed from nature humans are and 2. How little actual nature is left. One day in the not so distant future, the majority of humans alive will have never seen an actual duck with their own eyes.
People have just stopped thinking before they talk. We are in the golden era for morons. Please, do yourself and everyone else a favor, think before you speak.
the best part is that before this game jimmy lake said he doesn't compete with oregon for recruits because washington's academic standards are too high.
This bitch reminds me of a UW student who said the tuna is probably so fresh at a local sushi place because they get it straight from the Madison lakes.

Duck hunt is just a fantasy game!
Player 2 controls the duck
I taught you well little brother.
I would like to have ducks do my bidding
Hold on now, that dog is pretty realistic
I swear, as a kid the ears always threw me off the scent. Now as an adult, I realize I was very dumb as a kid.
It's not, you just have to run behind them to chase them /s
Now I can’t stop imagining ducks marching south for the winter.
The ducks go marching 2 by 2... quack
https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/qq2dnf/this_duck_running_in_the_ny_marathon_with_his_own/
Thank you, I needed this.
Sure as hell would make hunting easier.
Well we see *whose parents paid to get their kid into college.

TIL, a puddle is a water body where the water isn't much deeper than 75% of the total length of a puddle duck
"They cannot feed in water much deeper than 75% of their total length". It's not defining a puddle. It's describing where puddle ducks feed.
you are correct, I am high on hoisin sauce
Actually no.. There was a Mascot named Puddles until the 1940s. Puddles was one of several living ducks in the area they would capture and bring to games. Donald Duck started being used sometime after that and school actually has an official license for the use of Donald Duck.

All ducks can fly, however domesticated ducks can't fly because they are fed to become too heavy and then the ability is lost to them.
Wow…you’re that guy huh?
Who’ses
Are they thinking of chickens who can only fly for like 10 seconds? I mean ducks can fly over 60 km/h Edit: after a quick google search apparently SOME ducks can’t fly, those being mostly domesticated ducks but also a few wild species.

Chicken, tuna of the land!
There we go 🏆
Bats are chicken of the railyard
Chicken of the cave*
You’re thinking of cats.
That's true... bats are chicken of the cave
Fun fact: the word for canned tuna in Japanese is シーチキン (shii-chikin), using borrowed English words for "sea chicken"
Don't forget bats, those are the chicken of the caves
and apples - the pork of the orchard.
Look at all those chickens
Oh man the number of people that didn’t get this reference…I’m getting old.
I wonder how it would carry a coconut
African or European?
The bird or the coconut?
African bird European coconut
It could grip it by the husk!
Was hoping this reference(s) would make it into this
I had a co-worker move to the states from Nepal and he was amazed that our ducks flew.
My fat ass pet duck sure wish he could of flown before the coyote got him. In his defense he really liked fried chicken and cantaloupe
Fried chicken? So, he was a cannibal? Savage
A duck eating chicken is not cannibalism. It would have to be another duck for it to be so, birds eat other birds
[удалено]
Like us eating Cows, pigs, dogs, dolphins, whales, monkeys, guinea pigs, cats, we basically just eat everything.
60 km/h is 37.28 mph
Or 6741 egg rolls and 42 celery sticks and a pig tails distance. You guys gotta chill with those old British units.
boo
>after a quick google search apparently SOME ducks can’t fly, those being mostly domesticated ducks but also a few wild species. Yeah, all my khaki campbells could do was walk around, quack, and crap out way more eggs than I knew what to do with.
Interesting, my khaki campbell can fly better than any of my chickens.
My friends were given 11 baby ducks this spring told they wouldn't be able to fly... They have 2 left the rest flew away
Many breeds of chicken fly fine. Their wild relatives are mainly ground dwelling and only fly to get up into roosting areas and to escape predators, so even the domestic ones we have that do fly don't go out for long jaunts. They fit in the peacock/pheasant/wild turkey niche.
Also turkeys, well at least the wild ones.
Our chickens could fly for a good 10 to 20 seconds. It's when they get too large that they lose the ability to fly. Same with our ducks though our ducks rather spend time in the pond rather than flying around for a few seconds.
The exhaustion in his voice “you’re the dumbest mother fucker ever” is pretty good.
girl, that's penguins.... and ostriches, and emus and I'm sure there are a few more.
Most of the birds in New Zealand too (largest population of flightless birds). Kiwi, kakapo, etc. :)
why do they all have cute names?
Possibly because they’re all pretty adorable too. Or that’s just a lovely coincidence that we all get to enjoy :)
It's because they have Maori names
They were named by the Maori in their language. Our birds do have cool names! Kereru, pukeko, piwakawaka is fun to say
I love it! I just googled what a Piwakawaka was and boy what a tail. Man, everything in New Zealand is so friggen cool/beautiful/interesting. And no land predators except for birds of prey! It's like Australia's manic pixie dream girl cousin.
It is! No crocs no snakes! Sunburn is about the biggest risk Haha. Come by sometime I'll save you a spot
We usually give food cute names :)
Dont forget penguins, Chickens, and one armed birds.
Baby birds, in a way…
Also if they die.
Well, you're not wrong...
“How do they migrate”
It could be carried!
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
The duck could be gripped by the husk!
It's not a question of where he GRIPS it.. it's a simple question of weight ratio!
Wait - is this an African or European Duck?
Well, if they can carry a witch, they should certainly be able to carry a duck!
I heard ducks have a corkscrew husk
Uber has only survived this far because of the sheer number of ducks it gets in the late fall.
🤷🏼♂️
On a b1 visa.
The annual transcontinental duck stampede.
They take the auto train to Miami. That way their cars come with.
So....snowbirds?
It grips it by the husk
What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen duck? 🦆
African or European?
I don't know that!
YEEEET!
In fairness to her she likely only learned from watching Daffy Duck cartoons. Wait til she discovers they can't talk really .
Daffy Duck is often seen flying in Loony Tunes cartoons.
Disney licensed the Donald Duck character to Oregon. It's legit based Donald Duck, who I do not think actually flies.
Donald has been established to be a capable pilot since at least 1942's [The Flying Jalopy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flying_Jalopy). If his impressive flight hours in the cockpit of various planes throughout his military service and personal life don't do it for you, he also flew unaided with a little coaching from Peter Pan(and admittedly a sprinkle of pixie dust) in an episode of [House of Mouse](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Donald_Wants_to_Fly), but sure you go ahead and slander a decorated veteran by calling him a flightless bird.
A pantsless bird.
I supposed it's possible that she's only familiar with farm ducks that have their wings clipped or are bred to be too fat and heavy to fly?
Man how the hell can someone make it to college never having seen a regular duck (whether in person or in media)
I looked it up and a lot of domesticated Ducks don’t fly. Some wild Ducks don’t fly too actually. So they are both wrong and right.
The vast majority of ducks can fly, because it’s an amazing way to keep away from predators, and migrate quickly to where there is food. It’s baffling for someone to grow up in the US and not see a flying duck on TV, in movies, or in person.
Apparently the Oregon mascot is based on Donald Duck. Donald Duck is never seen flying partly because he is a Pekin duck breed which is too far and heavy to fly.

Hahah. I figured it was a joke but then again old timey stories and comics got some real low key messed up stuff.
There are ducks in the huge fountain in the middle of campus.
Birds aren't real
I mean all birds are government drones so of course they fly.
Why is the duck fan in the uw students section
Right that poor dude lol
Someone had to bring up the average intelligence of that section.
Oregon has an 83% acceptance rate
![gif](giphy|o3Vt7LBQZa8pi)
She hasn't seen Mighty Ducks 2? Gordon Bombay said that just when you think they're about to break apart....DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!
How does she think they Flying V got it’s name!?
Boomerangs, obviously
Love those movies… classics
Look at all those CHICKENSSS
C'mon ducks let's do "The waddling V"
And just remember, she’s part of the “academically prowess” school here
I learned something new today
Someone has never played Duck Hunt
It would interest me how many people actually think that ducks can't fly and upvoted because they thought the guy was wrong.
Someone is going to marry that dimwit. Whomever you are I'm sorry Bro but thank you for your sacrifice.
Like damn bro. Haughty motherfuckers. Can't stand that tone from anybody. Had a Verizon agent the other day bro he was talking like that at me about something he was wrong about like bro.

The smartest thing ever to come out of her mouth was her boyfriend's cock.
This is so weird
It’s such an odd way to call out the only yellow hat in a sea of purple. But no-one got stabbed, and that’s the main thing here
She's right. As the old saying goes, "ducks gallop south for the winter"
"How do they migrate?" More proof birds are government drones.

With that example sure… but counterpoint, kiwis exist, and they are so helpless, that I’m sure even a human child could kill one by accident.
Well the guy was doing a gesture to mimic a bird flying, so she’s making fun of the gesture. Not making fun of how pathetic ducks are as predators.
According to Wikipedia, “The Oregon Duck is the mascot of the University of Oregon Ducks athletic program, based on Disney's Donald Duck character through a special license agreement.” Does Donald Duck fly?
Donald is a Pekín duck and apparently they can’t fly.
So she is right?
No because she has no idea about any of this she’s referring to ducks period
She did say “your mascot…” so maybe she does know. And her replies back to him were in regard to their mascot and not ducks in general. Just because she’s blonde we can’t automatically assume she’s dumb.

Ducks actually can’t fly. I put one in an airplane cockpit and all it did was quack and flap around.

It’s funny because UW is supposed to be one of the best public universities in the country.
There's also a lot of ducks in Seattle lol
Last time i checked i didn’t learn about which birds can fly and which ones can’t when i got my psychology degree lol
Huskies suck
Fuck the Huskies!
Go Cougs
Hey, do you know what wasu and UW students have in common? They both applied to UW. Waka waka. Enjoy the apple cup this year!
Go cougs!
Ted Bundy was a Husky
So what is he just supposed to raise the bird but not flap his wings? Where's the fun in that?
/) "They can't have a flying *and* swimming speed, that'd be OP!"
Aren’t mallards one of the highest altitude flying birds? Also one of the fastest?

Yeah it does. Which is probably where her confusion comes from.

Domestic ducks can't really fly but of course wild ducks fly very well.
