    There once was an cutesie duckling, with feathers all stubby and brown… *quack quack* :) )

    Is that a mallard? When my sister & I were kids, we fostered a mallard duckling through our museum of natural history, and later released him. We had a male Siamese at the time, who was afraid of the duck.

    “Ducky Lucky” was the duck’s name, and “Ching” was the cat. My little sister was generally the one to name our pets.

  3. It looks like a Mallard, Theo…though there are several species with similarly-marked duckie-lings, the yellow fuzzy is usually a bit darker.

    Either way, it’s hopelessly adorable. I love duckies!! Especially when they’re walking behind their mother in a cute little line…*LOL*

    yay duckies! but I have to say, I don’t know about the whole “if it fits in your hand, it’s cute” rule. I’ve seen some mighty freaky pocket-sized critters!

    Hitler did a lot of good things, especially in the early part of his leadership.

    *nods* i’ll have to agree

  16. Theo says:

    “CuteThis” and “jizane”: troll much?

    Finn — I have a friend in San Fran who’s a dog trainer & no-kill animal shelter volunteer; another total kawaii-holic. She also inexplicably has a thing for Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. Like, always wanted to have them as pets, dressed up as one for a Halloween dance, etc. Go figure.

    Should people be touching animals that young? Isn’t it bad for them?

  21. crystal says:

    If we didnt pick him up, he would have been hurt. the larger ducks were picking on him. His mom took him back no problems.
