Duck's Name: Duckie

Color/Markings: white & black
Date of Birth: May 1992
Date Acquired: May 1992
Where/Whom Acquired: Front yard
Price: Free
Personality: He is a very intelligent and personable duck.
How Tamed:Duckie didn't really need to be tamed, since he was just a few weeks old when I took him in. He came from a large family; his mother had 17 other duckling in tow. I kept him in a shoebox by my bed the first few nights, until he eventually learned to climb out and explore the bed. He got along fine with my elderly dog (now deceased) and my two cats (both deceased), one of whom he imprinted on and who taught him how to swim. I built him a large open wood pen, which I kept in the kitchen (he liked to stare at his reflection in the oven door) but when I got my two new dogs I built him an elevated enclosed pen in the bedroom, which he uses today.
Diaper Used: None so far
What Made You Decide To Keep Your Duck Inside: Why keep a pet if it can't live with you.
Duck's Housing: 6x3 indoor cage/pen
Duck's Diet: Wild bird seed and dry cat food. Unlike the wild ducks outside, he refuses to eat bread.

Interesting Thing You Do With Your Duck: He loves to take baths in the tub!
Interesting Thing Your Duck Does: His best friend is our Siberian Husky (he has a crush on her).
Other Information: I don't think he knows he's a duck. Duckie is a well-travelled duck; in 1999 he travelled by car from South Florida to Houston Texas, and in 2000 he travlled by car from South Florida to California and back.

me!

when he has the diaper on he makes so much noise you can hear it all over the
house.

his neck. Was trying to make that work as a duck diaper but didn't have
sucess and he bit me so that's how it ended up around his neck like a bandana.
I'm trying now to get Ritz to stop biting my poor dog in the nose. Sally
(the dog) is a black lab and she is absolutly terrified of Ritz. Took him to
a nursing home Easter Sunday when I first got him and a couple other
times since then and all the patients absolutly LOVED him. It really made
their day to see a duck come walking in on a leash :)
