My Exotic and Migratory Ducks [Destinduck] (Photos)

I just have to laugh. My Aunt and Uncle are big ducks hunters down on the La coast. I send her pics of my ducks in the aviary and she sends me pics of the ones they bag. She grows herbs in containers for cooking out at their camp and squishes the Black Swallowtail Caterpillars and I fuss at her. I sent her a pic I took showing a caterpillar, a newly emerged BST Butterfly and the empty chrysalis all in one shot. She told me I make her feel guilty ROFL!!!!!!!!! I told her good ;-)

Oh yea. Love my pet ducks and I dont have my domestics anymore so I have to go huntin now for a duck dinner. Aubrey thats some good trivia to find how Chloe is prononced. I say it the second way. Well we got 3 redheads, 4 buffleheads and 1 drake greenhead on the opener and shot at alot more. Most ducks that we have seen in a long time. I guess because of the cold. Going to Arkansas next week to hunt. Then shoot over to Tennessee to bring back some pets so everybody has a partner for this spring.

Yep, teal wise, they were always my favorite. Seems to take them for ever to color out, but once they start , it doesnt take long.

I have a pair mounted in my living room, never get tired of looking at them, just wish they were in a pen, LOL

Oh and the taxidermist who did them did fluff up the crest they have, kinda similar to what a greenwing has, just slightly larger
