Ducks Mating

Everyone likes amateur duck porn!

Most birds lack penises, and mate by way of a "cloacal kiss", but ducks in fact do have penises - and in some species, they're quite large. Check out these pictures of a canvasback duck's reproductive system, and this fact sheet on the mating habits of mallard ducks.
