i had black east indian ducks, and the drake didnt really have a curl in his tail. the drakes are a lot shiner, with a deeper and mroe green sheen to them. the nosie is like a throaty quack for males, they are generally quieter. females will quakcmore, and the normal quack peeps associate with ducks
