# you know what's very sad?
when a baby duck is born the first moving thing it sees is imprinted as its 'mother'. males use this in later life when they're trying to find a mate, they look for one who looks like their mother. However, if an egg makes its way into the wrong nest (happens with goldeneyes and mallards a lot for some reason). the male goldeneye will have the female mallard imprinted and so later will try it on with mallards who of course ignore it, and it will also ignore the advances of lady goldeneyes, so it dies alone, having never got his end away.
