Ducks,turf wars and taking the mick.

[glasfryn]

since moving we now have ducks coming to the garden, one pair most of the time, now we have others and turf wars have started, another pair(how the hell do you tell the difference) then another drake with one pair which apparently is not unusual SHE can get covered by lots of drakes at a time.
they are now taking the mick as we are sure they know we cannot tell the difference, although the first couple we know the female as she will tap the window when the cats are not around.
anyone else have this pleasure.

Having eaten duck at home a couple of times lately, I know how to cook a nice breast of it to perfection. Can do a nice sauce with it too.

I was once up before the beak on duck related charges. I was told to address the judge as Mallard.

Eider thought you'd have gone down for that. Or did you make a teal with the prosecution?

Is it a bit damp where your new place is then Glas?

With drakes they have to take precautions, so will probably use a rubber.

OR

Try talking to them, you could use the call sign 'rubber ducky'

Contact Rick Wakeman. He built a big brand new pond in his garden and desperately wants ducks to move in. It's been one of the funnier Twitter accounts recently. Puns galore.

Really fancy some foie gras after reading this.

Was in the park the other day, my young daughter exclaimed 'Duck, Daddy Duck'. I turned towards the pond, and got hit on the head by a cricket ball.

How do you turn a duck into a legendary soul and blues singer?





Put it into a microwave, and wait until its Bill Withers
