Reviewed by LeslieDJoyce

This and the 5 gallon version of this product are more disappointing products from Little Giant. I had to modify the handles on these to get them to hang straight enough to not leak (I...

Neat pic. I never seen that before either, I wonder if it was crossed with a domestic somewhere. I think thats what Dylan was trying to say as well. But now that you mention it .Dylan, Max is right you have to get better at spelling on here or use spellcheck or something. Just some friendly advise.

The dead Wood Duck is partially leucistic.

"... the white patches are caused by a defect preventing normal deposition of the melanin. And since leucism is a deposition problem, it makes sense that birds with white patches would be leucistic. Consequently leucism comes in two main varieties — paleness, an equal reduction of melanin in all feathers; and pied, an absence of melanin in some feathers creating white patches." (Cornell Birds)
