Sorry to laugh but I bet that was a sight! Poor guy well we know he’s in good hands there. His friends are okay with how he looks? By the way how is Webster?

Webster is fine thanks. He's still attacking Polo a little, but I think I'm going to make a separate rabbit hutch like house for Webster, and get him a girlfriend. They seem ok with his looks, I know Ruby's ok with it, as they had an, ahem, intimate moment, soon after I put Marco in their area.
Don't worry about making jokes! A friend last night at my brother's house made that exact comment about an eye patch! It was then suggested that he needs a peg leg, and a parrot on his shoulder. The vets office was pretty entertained that Marco's bother is Polo. The animal rescue I got them from are the ones who named them.
A parrot would have to sit on his head they ain’t got no shoulders. Sounds like Ruby is okay with the new look! lol

A sad update: Unfortunately our Marco was born into eternity this morning. I let them out of their pen, and they were frolicking in the pool. I came out of the garage and saw him in the pool with his wings out, and his head on his back. I picked him up and moved him aside and folded in his wings. He was completely lifeless, I checked for a heartbeat but felt nothing. I'm thankful he went quickly.
With terrible timing, the vet called about 5 minutes later to ask how he was doing! I don't know if his dying was related to his eye problems, I tend to think not, since he was acting perfectly normal until the last minute. These last few days have been pretty tough, with all that's going on. I keep reminding myself that it could be much worse. I'm fortunate that I can survive financially and have plenty of toilet paper.
I'm thankful for everyone on this board. You're an amazing group of people, and have helped me in my duck adventure tremendously. I hope you're all doing well.
Thanks

I’m so sorry @thumper650, bless his heart Marco couldn’t have asked for a better home than yours. I know he’ll be missed. 
Oh @thumper650 I'm so sorry about Marco. We all try so hard to take care of our ducks and this is just so sad to hear. You've always been such a big help to all of us and you are such a good duck dad I just hate to hear this happened to poor Marco.

thanks @MasterOfClucker @Miss Lydia @DuckyDonna
It’s hardest when you go outside and he’s not there! We joke that Bill, my runner should do a eulogy, since he’s already dressed in black. I plan on making a grave marker for Marcos burial site in the spring.
Thanks again for your support!
