Giraffe ducks

My SO was talking about hunting with a friend whose first language wasn’t English. They were talking about how much they both enjoyed eating duck. His mate then said that ‘giraffe ducks’ were even tastier. When asked to explain, he said “Giraffe ducks. You know, the ones with the long necks.”

Swans. He was talking about swans. Which are a protected species here that you aren’t allowed to shoot. And definitely not to eat. No one eats swans here, or anywhere I’ve ever heard of. Weird.
