Duck Update

I know you have all been waiting on the edge of your seats for the latest duck update so here it goes in summary form. The dad left the mom in true deadbeat duck fashion and left her to care for the two babies. A week later one of the babies was apparently ducknapped overnight leaving one baby and one single duck mother. The stress of single motherhood got to the mom two weeks later and she abandoned the sole surviving baby duck to our care. Heather and I legally adopted the remaining baby and have raised her into a fine adolescent duck. I am proud to share the pictures of our young duck daughter below. She doesn't fly yet but is practicing stretching and flapping her wings. if anyone has any resources for parents trying to teach a child to fly I would be grateful if you shared them.

No update would be complete with out a picture of Oscar. Next to it is a picture of the duck mom and the baby before the mom left.
