My little Webster when he was a tiny baby.

I cannot even describe the noises I made at that picture.

GOOD NEWS!!!​

Suddenly it got really really noisy outside…
All ducks are back at the house, the 13 nasty ducks went straight into the duck-run and stuffed themselves with the layer-pellets. Apparently there were not enough newts in the pond.

So sadly no fireworks here tonight! But thank you everybody for the great suggestions. I will buy myself an RC-boat! Now the wifie can no longer object: »Honey, it is not a toy, it is a tool to get the ducks out of the pond!«

So basically you engineered this whole thing to get a new toy. I swear my husband sabotages our cars for the same reason

can someone send me the cutest most convincing duckling pictures so I can show SO? hahaha

scare is mostly just the sight of the broom. I don't understand, but the turkeys and the ducks are afraid of brooms. They toddle off to bed if they see the broom behind them. they have not had any broom-related traumas I know about. Just wave it behind them and the speed up!

Is it? - I thought it is the same with all land based birds.

It is the same here with the ducks and the »flashlight of doom« - just a headlamp from Harbour Freight (see below) that scares them to death. They start running away if they only see me carrying that thing in my hand.
