Show off your house ducks!

Ohhhh yeah. He does it ALL THE TIME to Mochi, hissing an' everything. Mochi weighs 22 pounds and Wobbles barely weighs 1 1/4, so it's like watching a sparrow charge a St.Bernard!

Oh. My. Wird. That Is funny. Why would a tiny chubby cheeked, web footed, stout billed, high crowned, round bodied duck bird go after a descendant of an African lion like that?

Many thanks for all that contributed to this thread.

You have been a huge inspiration and now I can present my own house ducks


Padme (drake) and Daffy (duck) are Aylesbury ducks and the nappies were sewn by amazing mother in law

Padme is the one with the blue nappy and Daffy is wearing the bird patterned one.

Enjoy

Great pictures. Love them. They are soooo cute.

I don't suppose your MIL would be willing to share her pattern? And I LOVE these photos! Christmas with your ducks, hehe. I'm kinda sad, I'm alone this Christmas since the airline refused to accept Wobbles as a housepet. They say duck = livestock which they don't allow and that's the bottom line. Buncha idiots. Anyone else flown on a plane with their duck?

I could claim him as a support animal but after that fiasco this week with that lady and her pot bellied pig I'm afraid to go that route.

To you as well! But seriously, that woman is nine kinds of dmb. She didn't even crate the darn thing, ugh...at least Wobbles fits in a cat carrier and poops in a diaper!

plus he is well shy of 2 lbs. he's also quieter than a wailing baby.

Thankfully he's a boy..dunno if I could say the same if he was a girl like we originally thought XD Seriously though, has anyone ever taken their house duck on a plane before? I'm really hoping for some firsthand experience or some tips on how to get Horizon Air to let him board. It's the only airline with a daily flight to Santa Rosa where my family lives.

Merry christmas! It takes a special sort of weirdness to own a house duck. doesn't it? But I'm glad to have found an open-minded, and open-hearted community that loves their indoor duckies as much as I do. I hope you all have a wonderful day. <3
