Ducks in the House

03-08-2009

After coming home from grocery shopping last night our mallard ducks and red-nosed pit bull dog were all standing by the back screen door under the carport waiting on food. They will all eat right along side each other and usually all three eat the dog food. I opened the door to bring in the stuff out of the trunk and the two waddlers followed me right on up to the back steps. Bonnie asked "you reckon they'll come in the house?" I walked back out to the car and left the door ajar and heard Bonnie yell "WAAAAYNE! They're in the BEDROOM!" I said "well, I guess that answers your question." Here they were following each other from room to room and then they started doing what ducks are notorious for doing. Squirting! The whole thing started out kind of funny but the humor was quickly desolving and n0w I had to herd them back out the door. With one final squirt they were back to the outside world.

This is a shot of the male trying to impress the female I guess when it picked up a leaf right between its eyes and started swimming around the pond.
