I like them.
yea tastes better than chicken.
Plus, they waddle.
Ducks quack me up. I wonder how they pay their bills?
Minus, they shit everywhere.
That’s not true. A duck has never shit in my shoes.
So do they call ducks “duck” because they duck underwater, or is it called “ducking” because ducks do it?
[SUB]This is the kind of thought that keeps me up at night.[/SUB]
Did everyone bring their Duck Repellent?
I don’t want to repel ducks. I, too, like ducks.
Point 3: They quack.
According to dictionary.com:
Minus…people buy cute BABY ducks at Easter and expect them to be cute babies forever. Woe to those who have grown up ducks that are wild and out of control and end up dumping those former pets at the local pond/lake/large body of water.
IDBB
Yes, most of those birds come to a grebe-ous end. Eider that or they keep quacking teal someone hits them on the head with a mallard.
Someone stop me
Same thing happens to baby bunnies. And baby everything, pretty much.
As I recall, it is called “ducking” because ducks do it. As the story goes ducks sleep with their heads under a wing, “ducknig” a head into the wingpit. During a Napoleonic War the French were pinned down and almost out of ammo. Some took it putting their heads into their armpits to avoid direct hits to the head. And the rest is history.
Ducks rock. Candian geese are endangered for a good reason: they’re in my way. Damn foreigners.
Tell me about it. Every spring you can’t go two steps without stepping on a baby duck, or a baby armadilo, or a baby human, or a baby pencil sharpener. I’ll stop now.
Those baby pencil sharpeners are the worst! Always toddling around putting pencils in their mouths!
The ones we have out here are so lazy that they won’t paddle with both feet. So if you’re really bored you can go out to the nature center and watch them spin in circles.
Let me just remark on how pleasing it is to have a thread about ducks on this board that does not concern whether their quacks really echo or not.
I mean ducks, of course, not pencil sharpeners.
The pencil sharpeners paddle with both feet?
