rWotD Episode 2837: Freckled duck Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 8 February 2025 is Freckled duck.The freckled duck (Stictonetta naevosa) is a waterfowl species endemic to Australia. The freckled duck has also been referred to as the monkey duck or oatmeal duck. These birds are usually present in mainland Australia, but disperse to coastal and subcostal wetlands in the dry period. During such times it is common for the freckled duck population to congregate in flocks in the same area, giving the impression that they are more common than they really are.The freckled duck population is at risk of further reduction from habitat destruction, droughts and game hunting. Often habitat destruction and drought can lead to an increase in hunting, as the freckled duck is forced to disperse into more coastal ranges where they may not be recognised as a protected species.In the past few decades, several institutions have established breeding programs to aid in supplementation of the freckled duck population. Such establishments included, but are not restricted to the Hunter Wetlands Centre Australia, Slimbridge Wetlands, Melbourne Zoo, Bronx Zoo, Adelaide Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary, and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. The success of these institutes has been variable, with some failing to establish self-maintaining colonies.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:39 UTC on Saturday, 8 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Freckled duck on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Kajal.

Feel the enchantment of Australia's wild birds in our new podcast episode! Zookeepers Jessica Ratcliff and Megan Whittard help us soar with their feathered friends as we learn about the work of Healesville Sanctuary and its awe-inspiring Spirits of the Sky. Jessica and Meg share personal stories about favorite childhood animals (not necessarily the birds they work with now) and how their love of animals led to  careers in zoology. Interested in working with animals? Discover the STEM connections with zoology and other animal-oriented career paths.Interested in ways animal training and human education are similar? Meg and Jessica share similarities as they unravel the techniques behind the Spirits of the Sky demonstrations. I've seen first hand how the wonder of the Australian birds is matched by the respect and care they receive from their human counterparts. We delve into the trust-building and training processes, talking about how positive reinforcement for our feathered friends is not just about performance, but about creating a harmonious space for animals to thrive. Do they have favorite birds? You'll have to listen to find out, but Jessica and Meg leave us in awe of the birds they work with. Their survival adaptations and unique behaviors remind us of our shared planet and the simple steps we can take to protect it.

Samantha Chiew on understanding the effects of animal-visitor interactions, learning from little penguins, and animal welfare policy Samantha Chiew starts by sharing some of her first memories of connecting with animals at a children's farm. With so many other ways to study and work with animals abound, Samantha reflects on different pathways and how she obtained an MSc and joined, like Sabrina, the CAWSEL course in Cambridge. Samantha shares about her work at the Healesville Sanctuary as a customer service representative, learning about why zoos are so important. Looking at both animal welfare and the visitor experience. She then pursued a PhD in zoo animal welfare studying penguins and human and visitor interactions. Samantha shares research findings and how outcomes were used to modify environments and regulate the visitor animal interaction. "Findings have increased our understanding of the multifaceted nature of visitor attitudes and have identified some influencing factors on attitudes that can be used to inform the way zoos manage visitor-penguin interactions." Currently, Samanta is working for the Australian Federal (Commonwealth) Government as a Policy Officer in the Animal Welfare team within the Agricultural Policy Division, with a focus on the field of farm animal welfare. Her work revolves around ensuring that the recommended changes in policy are supported and backed by science. Samantha concludes the podcast with a story about penguin poo and what she learned from Bandit, a little penguin at Wellington Zoo.

Story: Quite some time ago an alien child instantiated our reality using some silly game they found on their parent's hand-me-down computer. As time went on they noticed the rainforests were being destroyed for a variety of reasons which would soon end the simulation. The child was quite attached to some of the people in the simulation and of course didn't want to have restart the simulation all over again from beginning. So, without their parent's permission, the child opted to buy the in-app purchase to heal the rainforests by turning back the rainforest clocks. Play now continues.

Frau Kühn: Ich komme aus Deutschland und bin mit meiner Familie für eine Woche in Melbourne. Was kann man in Melbourne machen? Mitarbeiter: Man kann sehr viel machen. Es gibt einen sehr schönen Aussichtsturm, den Eureka-Tower. Von der Aussichtsplattform haben Sie eine tolle Aussicht über das Stadtzentrum. Die Plattform ist ein Glaswürfel und wenn das Wetter gut ist, kann man bis zu 75 Kilometer weit sehen. Frau Kühn: Das klingt super! Und wo kann ich gut einkaufen gehen im Stadtzentrum? Mitarbeiter: In der Bourke Straße gibt es viele Geschäfte. Sie können auch mit dem Zug zur Bahnstation Melbourne Central fahren. Dort kann man auch sehr gut einkaufen. Auf dem Queen Victoria Markt können Sie frische Lebensmittel und Spezialitäten aus vielen Ländern kaufen. Schauen Sie sich unbedingt die Fischhalle an. Frau Kühn: Meine Frau möchte gern in ein Musical oder in ein Konzert gehen. Was gibt es im Moment in Melbourne? Mitarbeiter: Im Regent Theatre läuft gerade Lion King und Strictly Ballroom kommt im Her Majesty Theatre. Strictly Ballroom ist eine australische Produktion. Sie ist sehr zu empfehlen. Im Arts Center gibt es auch viele Konzerte und Theateraufführungen. Hier, schauen Sie mal in das aktuelle Programm an. Frau Kühn: Danke schön! Kann ich hier Karten für Strictly Ballroom kaufen?

Aber wenn Sie besonders australische Tiere sehen möchten, sollten Sie in den Tierpark in Healesville gehen. Healesville Sanctuary ist außerhalb von Melbourne, aber man kann mit dem Zug und mit dem Bus dorthin fahren. Man kann auch Stadtrundfahrten machen, die Sehenswürdigkeiten in Melbourne mit einem Ausflug nach Healesville kombinieren. Frau Kühn: Können wir auch hier in der Stadt in einen Park gehen? Das Wetter ist heute so schön! Mitarbeiter: Ja, gleich hier in der Nähe ist ein großer Botanischer Garten. Sie können im Cafe zu Mittag essen und im Sommer gibt es auch Open-Air-Kino. Machen Sie ein Picknick und sehen Sie einen Film im Original. Frau Kühn: Das Picknick klingt gut! Können Sie mir sagen, wie ich am besten zum Botanischen Garten komme? Mitarbeiter: Ja natürlich. Gehen Sie über die Brücke und die St Kilda Road immer geradeaus. Sie gehen am Arts Centre und an der Nationalgalerie vorbei. Der Park ist auf der linken Seite. Es gibt verschiedene Eingänge in den Park. Der Haupteingang ist in der Birdwood Avenue. Hier ist ein Stadtplan für Sie. Frau Kühn: Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe! Mitarbeiter: Kein Problem!
