Ducks are egg-laying birds. I would find it very strange to see a 
duck act like a mammal, getting a baby without a shell around it.
That would be way too much fantasy for me. (Or a morbid, failed 
genetic experiment.)

Everyone has their own interest, but I never would have believed that 
this subject could be a matter of discussion. Not even as a fantasy.
If people rather want to see humans instead of ducks, then just read 
comics with humans or dog-nosed humans or Mickey Mouse.

Just a thought: Maybe the "mammal-duck people" just don't accept that 
the Ducks look like *funny animals*, no matter how the Ducks behave? 
Maybe the "mammal duck" theory is an attempt to make the ducks look
acceptable for adults? Is this an attempt to say "hey, I'm not just 
a collector of funny animals, I'm a collector of cool, heavy stuff"?
An attempt to be taken as a serious, intellectual person? If so, I'd 
say it won't work that way. Rather the opposite.
