My Daisy used to do that to me all the time! Exactly like you said and I did exactly as you do and I thought at the time, how it was a good thing I don't have anyone around to witness this! I miss my Daisy!I don't know if Zeke is tattling or just spreading gossip. he likes to come up to me, so I bend over so I am looking at him and he will look at me back and then quackquackquackquack.....
then turns around and waddles away.
he does that to me every now and then, here I am standing there in the pen, bending over talking to my duck like "oh really!! you don't say" while bobbing my head up and down like I am understanding him.
If one of my neighbors walked by they would be like there is that weird lady again..lucky my close neighbors are my friends lol
