Seductive YouTube account for a Pekin duck?

[CoMtns]

I'll be perfectly honest this is not how I expected this thread to go. At first I was concerned people do take their love of ducks a little too far and boy howdy was I really concerned. Now I'm just sad that the duck lives a better life than I do.

So much not a fan of the idea that I didn't even watch the video.

I do think its sad that it lives alone, should have a second duck.
Aside from that I think the videos are quite sweet

I enjoy watching their vids

I think they have an account on here, @Seducktive, but They only made an introduction post

I initially felt like that until I found the story about how Wrinkle came to be alone. The couple -- there is a female partner for the guy in the video, she is presumable the videographer -- wanted ducks and sadly only one egg, the one with Wrinkle in, hatched. They did their best for an unexpected lone duckling. I have a rescue that came to me at 2 or 3 days old on the verge of death. I nursed him back to life but then he "collapsed" 3 days later, lying in the corner on his soft toy and not eating and drinking. I recognized a depressed duck and then kept him close by me with lots of handling [he wasn't interested in mirrors except to look at me and make sure I was still there behind him] and he thrived. He is now 2 years old and a great lump of ducky affection. He's not a house duck like Wrinkle as I was able to get two more rescues when all three were about 8 weeks old from a rehabber. My duck is deeply bonded with me but came too late to imprint on me [fortunately].

Wrinkle's human Dad and Mom weren't in a position to find more ducklings from a rehabber, and really have done the best for Wrinkle including 24/7 attention. I suppose Wrinkle's human Mom is camera shy as she was in some shots in earlier videos.

It is the Wrinkle story that lends me to advise people not to have a single duck as a house pet: adolescents with a single house duck who go to school and leave the duck alone during the day are really being unkind to their duck. Unless a person can devote 24/7 attention like Wrinkle's humans, and take them out into the fresh air and sunshine every day, ducks shouldn't be alone and shouldn't be house pets.

So I am nolonger sad for Wrinkle, but am sad for most lone house duck pets.

The last I heard, wrinkles mom left, and it's now just wrinkle and his dad. I'm pretty sure he gets friends to help him video everything. When I get down and out, I cuddle my Pekin and we watch wrinkle its not her favorite thing to do, but I enjoy it.

What are your opinions of this YouTube user called Seductive who treats their pet Pekin duck like a human being?

Its amazing! Not many ducks get treated like that.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

Do you think I could do the same with a chicken?

Yep

You wouldn't be likely to be able to take any bird out in public- chicken, duck, or otherwise.
Some hand reared birds are okay, like Wrinkle, but most others aren't.
My duck was hand raised, and she loves people- but even she dislikes going out.

It is possible, but it would take a very confident outgoing bird, and even then I wouldn't really recommend it as most would rather stay home with their buddies!

You could still make cute videos from home though, that's what I do
