Davis dopers: whats with the friggen ducks?

Damn! These bloody mallards are everywhere. Almost ran some over the other day driving downtown, they were strolling across the road. Somehow, I failed to anticipate [i]mallards[/a] in the middle of 3rd street. Damn things.

Also, why do they want to sleep between the gas pumps where i work. These things are unfathomable.

Sigh. That time of year I guess. At least I haven't seen any violent necrophiliac duck raping yet.

And you're not going to with that attitude. C'mon man, you have to make it happen! I believe in you!

Mallards are ducks?

The Mallard is probably the most widely known wild duck in North America.

Well, I was going to post something about reasons for new laws, but the OP beat me to it.

Well, on this page, I see what a califorian has to do to get a hunting license soo....

I supose the cops might have a problem with you taking out a gun and blowing away one of those quackers in public however.

The lawn by Mrak Hall must have reached carrying capacity. They're dispersing and looking for other favorable habitats. The gas pumps are on an island, yes?

Hey!

I haven't lived in Davis since I was a very little girl - but I fed those ducks. (Or those ducks' grandparents or something (how long is a duck generation, anyway?)) And I have many pleasant memories of feeding ducks in Davis.

Leave the ducks alone.
