  Wrong shaped beak for that, shovel instead of spear

    Shovels work fine for itty-bitty fishes, since there’s a lid to keep them from splashing out. Also water bugs as well as of course plants.

      They work, but aren’t they primarily for plants and bugs?

        I’m not an expert duckist, so:

      How is this not a spear?

        Less the long and narrow and more how it’s used.

        A fishing net is also long and narrow, but we usually wouldn’t call it a spear because that’s not how you use it. If you spear something with your net you’ve made a mistake.

        Personally, I’d say a duck beak is “spoonish”, and the fish hunters are “grabby”. Some are tweezery, and some are tongy.

        Spears are sharp.

  “Duckweed” is named such because ducks like to eat it. I believe aquatic plants like that are a pretty big part of their diet.
