In before crazy eHarmony video on youtube (probably starring me)


I love ducks. I want ducks for pets. I love how adorable mallards look. Especially the babies (http://www.lloydspitalnikphotos.com/d/1824-3/mallard_ducklings_F5R9045-01.jpg)!! :D


We "had" ducks when I was 12. They stayed at my grandparents farm because we had a pond and we fed them. They were pretty badass :cool:. I want an inside duck though. One that takes baths and naps and eats duck food and thinks he owns the place and quacks and pecks at people who don't live here. :jess: Or maybe one that can bro with my dog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbOOPKBg0iA).

My family used to have muscovy ducks. They're just as adorable as regular ducks until they hit puberty and become MONSTERS:

Also, ducks crap everywhere. They even crap as a defense mechanism if you try to pick them up. Tastes good though

1) Attach a piece of bread to the end of a stick and dangle it just beyond their reach while you laugh and ridicule them for not being able to eat aforementioned bread.

2) Remove your shoes and flap your arms around like a duck who has not quite yet grasped the ability to fly.

3) Continually mock and imitate the duck in front of his friends.

4) Call him a douche bag

5) Invade his personal space

There are very many ways to anger a duck. I have covered the basics.

Oh man, ducks are so cool!

I think they're awesome. Especially when they have a whole family. At my old house in NZ, there were some mallards that would come to our place every year - we could tell them apart because one of them had a very distinctive mark on it's beak, and the others seemed to be the same based on pictures from previous years although it's difficult to say for sure - I imagine they might have been part of a larger group or something and the guy just brought his partner and a another couple each time (there were always the four of them). They started coming there at a youngish age, and got fatter over the years as we fed them bread constantly. There were always ducklings around as well. We named the main duck Peter and the others were given names of Anne, Sam and Susan (even if they might have been different each time, Peter was clearly the same duck).

Ducklings are adorable. The mum duck didn't seem to mind when we picked up the ducklings although we didn't do it too often, maybe once or twice a year. I don't know why our cats didn't eat them or something, the adult ducks must have been very good at keeping guard against the more obvious predators.

I used to love feeding ducks as a youngster. Ducks are a'ight, but yeah man, if you piss them off they try to rip your face off.

Or maybe that's just in Aus.

That's like everything down there, mate. I bet the flowers will try something if you look at them funny.
