That's awesome. I get enough funny looks from my own family, I couldn't imagine what the public would react like! It sounds like your duck had a lot of fun though, and i'm glad your vet took such good care of her. That makes me wonder why people think a duck would be such a weird pet...other people keep spiders and snakes for heaven sake.You just reminded me about a year ago a dog attacked on of my ducks and broke its wing. I can not drive, did not have a car, so a friend took me on the back of his motorbike to the vets with the duck.
The duck sat on my lap quite happily - seemed to really like the ride. When we had to stop a red lights the duck would stick out its neck and look around at all the other bikes and cars in wonder, while quacking loudly. Lots of funny looks from other people and children loved to see her.
At the vets there were lots of posh little dogs yapping and cats in boxes. My duck happily waddling around the waiting room, helping herself to some food and water form the bowl provided for the dogs. She even frightened one dog away! Everyone was laughing.
The vest said they never had anyone bring in a duck before. People thought I should just eat her. The vets were very kind and strapped up her wing and gave injections. The did not even charge me! I had to go back 2 more times (the duck now loving the bike ride).
Now if I go out with anyone on a motorbike she will look so sad, like she wants to come along too!
