I agree with the general sentiment that we don't need this.
Rhymes with "Protracted."Crowner up. Please vote so we can finish this.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickCut. I don't see any trope here.
Same. Voted cut as well.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSeems the consensus for cut is rather strong, so I started on clearing out a couple wicks.
There's a sizable amount of inbounds, though.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI suppose it can work as a redirect to Feathered Fiend. After all, it has 500+ inbounds, that you guys probably want to keep.
EDIT: Anyway, I've dewicked the whole thing, save for an archive page, and cutlisted the subpages. I think we are done.

Redirected the page to keep the inbounds. Locking.

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?
The entries on this page themselves pretty well demonstrate that there's no particular pattern to portrayal of ducks in fiction, if one couldn't already infer that. Wise owls and sly foxes are tropes that go way back, but "ducks are morally ambiguous" seem to be no more than kind of an attempt at post-hoc justifying the existence of another "this animal exists" page.
