Addend, well the Mallard has been here for 150 years (an undertaking with great dignity, in my opinion); the Teal self-introduced to New Zealand which does not make him native either ...

My old man used to shoot to shoot for Teal when he was a young lad and he considered the Teal to be the dumbest bird that ever flew. You shoot one out of a mob and the others just keep coming back.

And thats why you arent allowed to shoot them any more

scaup would have to be a close 2nd in the easy stakes you could hunt them with a tennis racket.
