Karrhkiyala (Burdekin Duck)

This bird Burdekin Duck has two names. One we call Karrhkiyala and the other name we call Kambarikambari. We see lots of them in billabongs, swamps, creeks and rivers. The feathers are black and white. We eat Burdekin Duck, it tastes like Brown Whistleduck. It’s good to eat.
