Day 7
[Dictated, in a way suggesting that he dictates impromptu encyclopedia articles all the time.]
Mallard Duck
Anas platyrhynchos
The most ubiquitous animal in Paradisa. Males of the species have distinctive green colouration on their heads, which is a striking difference from the drab-coloured females. These avians have naturally waterproofed feathers, allowing them float with ease on the surface of the water. They are quite used to people, and do not seem to mind being approached by castle residents ... usually.
I would have named them Dabbling Quackles.
