Squeaky doesnt like me unless I have food or a shovel XD She and my drake, Redford love my parents though.
And they DEFINITELY won't let me touch them unless I have peas. And holding them is a whole other story O_O
But, they are pretty cute with all their quacking and swimming. I'm more of a chicken person though.
Only a select few ducks actually like being held, that's just ordinary duck behavior. My ducks don't adore being held, but they don't hate it either. Mine do love being hand-fed though.
