So about 2 years ago I asked about getting a harness for our drake as I wanted to start taking him with me on my bike rides into town. Unfortunately I won't be able to get him a harness for another few weeks once I start getting paid. As of recently I had to separate Colonel from the whole flock as everyone started to gang up on him including the ducks. Anyway, as he is now alone I figured that since I have a big enough basket to fit him in, I was going to start taking him with me on my bike rides.
Before anyone gets on me about taking him out for a bike ride, please understand that I currently I only go for a quick 5-6 minute ride around my neighborhood as we're starting to get summer temps and I don't want to stay out too long since our mornings have been a little too warm for me as well.
For anyone wondering about the basket, it's tall enough that he'd have to really put a whole lot of effort to jump out and even then, I'd be able to keep him from doing so anyway. Also I keep a water bottle on me with ice in it to drink so I can definitely let him drink some cool water from my hands.
Any tips to get him use to the basket?
Since he normally stays still if a towel or blanket is wrapped around him, would that help with taking him in the basket??
