How can you tell if you are Duck Crazy??
1) If you go to bed, and start thinking stuff like... I hope the DUCK didn't hurt herself when she fell down the step! or wasn't it funny when the DUCK jumped real bad when the dog barked, or wasn't it disgusting when the ducks were eating huge earthworms ewww..
2) When you wake up in the moring, put the kettle on for a cup of coffee, then spend the next ten minutes saying good morning to the DUCKS before you get a chance to re-boil the kettle for a cup of coffee!
3) If you go to the fridge/freezer food cupoards, and start looking for food that the DUCKS might like, then start cooking for them! they love scrambled egg and peas..
4) If you start off with one DUCK, then end up with more!
5) If you start looking at other peoples ducks on youtube, and you wished other peoples ducks belonged to you.
6) If you look on youtube and you see somebody has got lots and lots of DUCKS and jealousy becomes a problem, and you realise life isnt fair because you haven't got room for lots and lots of DUCKS!
7) If you start taking lots of photos and videos of DUCKS.. Everything they do, you act like a tourist taking photos!
.
8) If you start talking to the DUCKS, and you say things like.. I will fetch your blue bowl and fill it with water.. like why tell them its the blue bowl?
9) If you are talking to your friends or family, and you end up talking all about what the DUCKS have been up too!
10) If you start looking for suitable ways to travel with the DUCKS so you can take them with you when you visit people!
11) If you go to work, and you wish you was in the garden playing with the DUCKS instead.
12) If the word DUCKS gets stuck in your brain!
If any of the above sounds like you, you ARE duck mad, there is NO known cure from Duck addiction hehe

Living with my Ducks
The most amazing pets I have owned are Ducks..
Ducks have individual personalities.
The way I love to keep my pets, is extremly friendly. To get 100% trust off Ducks, is to have them soon after incubation.
My First Duck Bubbles, came from my nextdoor neighbour, (I knew nothing about ducks) I kept him in our house until he no longer needed heat, Bubbles was regularly being picked up for cuddles, baths etc. Talking to him a lot he soon picked up what some words meant, example if he is in the kitchen, point to the backdoor and say 'go on outside', and he goes straight out. Its crazy how he just knows what I want him to do..
My second Duck Puddles came from a farm park, as a friend for Bubbles (both very young and fluffy still) In the farm park it was extremly hot, I couldnt wait to get Puddles home, after seeing him all day panting like mad. Both Drakes got on very well from the minute they were put together.
My third Duck Misty once again came from my nextdoor neighbour, Misty was a tiny duckling so she had to live in our house join winter (and she still does live in our house!)
My forth duck Meloney was bought (miles away) as a friend for Misty..
So we have four ducks, two drakes that live together, and two hens that live together ..
The drakes are playfull (which some people would think they are being attacked) Join breeding season they do have certin things on their mind, and they try it on.. When they (appearing to be in this attacking mode) gripping hold of your skin trouser legs etc, All I have to do is a firm but gentle grip on their beaks and say NOOOO and point at them saying NOOO they soon stop and learn who the boss is.. The Hens are so gentle and can't be faulted at all..
I would never trade drakes for hens, drakes love rough and tumble (but gentle). This is where us humans get a great bond, and entertainment with these lovely ducks..
I do not believe my ducks are just pets.. I believe they should be classed as compainion pets.. My ducks can join me when I visit people.. Just a simple bag with board for support and a soft bed on top inside the bag and they happily travel on the bus or in the car, poking their heads out of the top to see where they are going. When at the house we are visiting they stay in the kitchen and garden (for easy to clean up mess) Along the way travling people seem so suprised to see ducks in my bag, Of course my ducks behave, because they trust me and we have a bond. My ducks are very laid back, in strange places they make theirselves at home within minutes, because they can see me... read new posts for some stories of things that have happened with my ducks:)
