And here I thought coots were native to nursing homes and bingo halls...

[@erstwhilegrubstake]

Remember folks coots ≠ ducks.

As someone who loves both birds and spongebob this is funny and I always laugh when they say "old coot" on spongebob

They may look something like ducks, but they aren't a bunch of quacks!

[@thegoose0m1]

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it is......a coot!(?)

Do coots wear coats?

[@eunaekim9216]

Can a 🐁use a 🖱️? Can a duck get stuck in a truck? Do pigs write with a pig pen?

[@RabbitHorse777]

@@eunaekim9216 yes, yes, and yes.

[@rwebpea]

They are members of the rail crake family Rallidae. Like one of my favourite birds the Dusky Moorhen and also Australasian Swamphen also known as Pukeko. Once I overheard some random person call a dusky moorhen a weird duck and I was like omg noooo thats a moorhen not a duck lol

Coot =)

[@scrug3708]

I've always loved birds with frontal shields. It looks like they've got a broken helmet that only covers the front of their head.

[@kiwi_sodas]

I love coots :)

[@indyreno2933]

Actually, coots are not waterfowl, waterfowl are birds that belong to the order Anseriformes, coots belong to the order Gruiformes.

[@nct948]

I think the term is used in a broader sense in the USA.

[@indyreno2933]

Actually, the word "waterfowl" refers exclusively to the order Anseriformes, just like the word "gamebird" refers only to the order Galliformes, interestingly gamebirds (order Galliformes) and waterfowl (order Anseriformes) are both called fowl, which are birds of the clade Galloanserae.
