I haven't been to my pics here on BYC in a while but I see alot of my pics are gone. This is the only picture I have of Ernie now. And that lil duckling is his off spring. Can't really tell how beautiful he was.

I’m sorry about your pictures. I am sadly unable to view the picture on my device. I’m sure he was very handsome though.

The picture shows up but when I post it's gone. You can go to my media though and see if you'd like. I am sorry.

I thought I’d update on my rescue drake. I decided to name him Pom-Pom. I got home from work and had to clean out his cage so I decided I’d put him in the dog pen right beside my deck since he liked it in there yesterday. He seems to like the outdoors. He was eating the grass and playing in the snow so I left him for a couple of minutes and went to get his cage all cleaned out. I came back upstairs just in time to see him making an escape! I got my coat on and went to go retrieve him. He somehow managed to FLY out of the pen and get lose in my backyard. He went over and tried to hang out with the call ducks. I scolded him, picked him up, and took him back inside the house to his clean cage. I absolutely cannot believe that he was able to fly. Yes it was only about 1” ft tall but I thought there was no way he could fly since his wing is so badly injured. I thought it wouldn’t be possible since half his wing is missing that he would be able to. I am not sure how he managed. I am baffled. He is a very naughty duck! Pictures are to come!

I will look at your media. It’s ok.

I looked at all the cute pictures in your media then I did a search and came across this thread which had pictures of him. He was absolutely gorgeous! ♥

I searched for threads posted by you and put Ernie into the search. I am not very savvy when it comes to technology either!
It was the first article that popped up.

Thanks I now have it book marked. All my pictures from 2016 down all disappeared when my computer died.

Glad I could find those.
That would be really sad to lose all those memories. I have lost pictures before when my phone gave out.
