Do you let your duck watch TV?

[hschisel]

Hahaha! Yep! I always call it the side eye because I can feel his dislike/disappointment for me when he looks at me. I know about their fixed eyes, but I haven't known that for more than a couple of months. The drake I am referring to, "Reggie", has this way of looking at me. Maybe it's just my guilt. I do feel bad for him but if I hadn't done it, I doubt he would be mobile at this point. He is constantly left behind the others and gets trampled often as he falls a lot. I think he blames me. I still love my "Quakers" (what I call them to come off the pond at night to eat and go in their house

haha they totally look like their judging us when they look like that! but I think he eventually remembers that he's a duck and a hundred times more ridiculous than me in many many ways

Yes!!! I LOVE BYC. It's crazy how we all seem to "get" one another. This is definitely my "safe place"

@SuperDuck - That must be the thread for your boys Chuck and Buck! As far as i remember they're big fans of Sponge Bob…

Lol yes I do love the adventures of chuck and buck, I wish I had social birds like those, that I could share a duckaccino with

I wish but all of my ducks seem to hate me and my daughter. I am just the giant that brings them feed, locks them up at night and sets them free in the morning. I keep trying to give them treats and respect their desire to not be touched but they've been hating me for a while now. I'm afraid they're never going to like me The Drake that had a deformed foot gives me the worst side eye ever. I can kind of understand why he hates me because I'm sure it was traumatic getting meds forced on him and then putting a handmade boot to force him to walk on his foot instead of his ankle joint, but he wouldn't have survived hobbling around on his joint. I can accept that he hates me for that. It's worth it that he can get around. The others weren't given anything but love though. I promise I'm not trying to bring anyone down, hahaha. I'm just jealous

Bring him inside with a diaper and let him watch Ducktales or Duck Dynasty with you while you feed him grapes.

But then Honey Boo Boo, TomTom, Drake (yes one of my drakes is named Drake, hahaha), India, and Stormy might get jealous and start "side eyeing" me, hahaha! If I could choose one of my ducks to spoil and love on, it'd have to be one of my girls, Honey (Pekin) or TomTom (Buff Duck with a masculine name, although she is so petite and an obvious girl, she wasn't always so obvious). Reggie does seriously tug at my heartstrings with his bad limp and obvious handicap. He tries so hard to keep up with the boys. Just this morning when I let them out of their duck house on the pond dam, he tried to fly down the little hill but he and his wings forgot that he was a Pekin and failed him at the bottom of the hill with just enough room for his body to tumble over his head and land in a belly flop on the pond....... He shook it off like a champ and I told him that nobody saw it happen, although Drake, my massive Pekin, stopped in his tracks to get a front row view of the outcome. The other boys (Cayuga and Mallard) have wings that work with their bodies, so they were already swimming around trying to impress Honey and TomTom, so they really didn't see anything

I know that this many drakes won't work with 2 ducks, so I am just enjoying them all while it lasts. I don't believe my 2 Pekin Drakes have matured and that's probably the only reason it's still working out.

Your both making me jeleous!

me too!

 

[SuperDuck]

Don't be silly.... ducks don't watch tv.

Oh. Wait. Never mind.

And if your kid, their dad, falls asleep on the floor..... he may or may not make one heck of a step stool to get closer to their hero, Spongebob.
