That is amazing!

That is amazing!

I always wanted to get them a xylophone. But I never have done it.

I gotta say though my palace house is made of metal and they lost interest in tapping on it long ago.

I was weed wacking around the duck pen a minute ago and they just couldn't wait for me to back off so they could see what tasty morsels may have flung in their enclosure.
I got thinkin about your grasshopper ordeal and got to laughing.
I had to stop for a minute till I could quit laughing. I was getting grass in my mouth.

Well that’s definitely good to hear.

 

[WannaBeHillBilly]

And THAT never crossed my mind at all. I just might have to put a barrier between them and the metal.

You have to! Trust me! You have to! - They will make you insane!

OR you just don't hear it anymore?

Best is if you take a White-board pen and draw some dots on the metal. Almost as good as giving them a xylophone …

Don't remind me! Fortunately the days of mowing are over for now. My 26 little mowers (and tramplers) do that job with pleasure.

Mine stick their whole heads and necks up the downspout and play from the inside. Sometimes two will syncopate.

Good grief! I am so happy that i have no open downspouts!
When they're allowed to gobble down the Tomatoes and the Peppermint in early Winter they play duck-music on the runners of the patio: Toc, toc, toctoc! Toc toc! Mrrrrr! Mrrrr! Toc toc! …
