oiseaux #4: does anyone need a mallard?

by Wren on November 19, 2008

As my non-birdy friends would say, “You had to go all the way to France to see ducks?”

No, but since I was there ….

They speak a universal language even I can translate. “Quack” means “feed me!”

Michelle November 22, 2008 at 12:06 pm: Wren..thank you for the kind comments on my blog, I do appreciate it. I thought that all ducks quacked until I moved near a pond. I tell people if it quacks, it’s a mallard female….or Daffy duck..
Wren November 19, 2008 at 9:03 pm: G, I agree with you. They can be cute and funny, even if they are “common”
G_mirage November 19, 2008 at 4:23 pm: Roasted? kidding, woodcarved mallards are nice but the real ones are a beautiful photo opp!

My kids love feeding them, sometimes giving all their supposed picnic bread to them!

Fishing Guy – ‘fraid not on the cooked duck
Fishing Guy November 19, 2008 at 3:27 pm: Wren: What a fun post and that is a long way to go to feed a duck. that is unless you were having some cooked duck later.
Deborah Godin November 19, 2008 at 11:59 am: Thanks for my morning smile!!
Wren November 19, 2008 at 8:40 am: It’s clear I’m not the only one susceptible to their imploring eyes and skilled begging.
