Hmmm. I'll have to run this one by our local Viceroy and Vicereine  
(who hold Court Baronies but function effectively as landed Barons,  
and hold seniority over the other landed Barons in the Kingdom). The  
Barony next to us has a duck as its primary heraldic charge (think  
Long Island Ducks)... ;-)

No hidden meaning there...
