  (Can I patronize? should be funny to point out that) ackshually, ducks are birds regardless of what they're eating. Like, at all times. Same happens with Penguins, Ostrich, and... Mmm.. other birds :P

    Nobody said that the act of eating birdseed was the thing that makes the ducks birds.

      JavaScript devs learning python: is this duck typing?

        Yes.

        if 'is_eating_birdseed' in obj.__dir__() and obj.is_eating_birdseed:
            return 'Is duck!'

      I know... yet,

      ducks eating birdseed were, in fact, birds.

      Yeah but nobody also didn’t explicitly not say it.

    Technically ducks and velociraptors are both dinosaurs, regardless of what they eat.

      what if the duck eats the velociraptor?

        Then it evolves into a dangerduck

  I mean, you gotta admit the differences is something that varies, especially just on size and build. If I saw a guy offering fancy feast to a tiger, I’d probably also question it.

  Also would say, this could be the best scene ever in a Jurrasic Park movie. Trex is charging in… a kid just drops birdseed on the ground, T-Rex stops and begins eating… Palientologist asks kid “how the heck did you know that would work”, Kid “Bird!”.
