    Did you bump the box, camera guy? Interrupting such a sweet schnooze, how rude!

  2. Alicia says:

    I died. So cute. Do want. Poor little guy though, don’t wake him up!

  3. Trisha says:

    would be nice if they actually cleaned this little one’s cage once in a while!

    Icky!

  4. turbofloof says:

    “Quack-shuuuuuu, Quack-shuuuuu…” And, then the poor buddy is rudly awakened! Pobricito!

  5. turbofloof says:

    (oops, “rudely.” eek.)

  6. Mimi says:

    Kind of sounds like me in the morning. Sighing about getting up!

  7. Dianne says:

    Is he hiding his head & crying because the paper is so dirty???

  8. NutherDeb says:

    Having raised several ducklings in the house, those papers take only moments to look like that!! If it had not been cleaned recently, believe me, ducky’s home would look MUCH WORSE!!!! Cute little ducky!!

  9. debg says:

    The schnoz did me in. As someone commented on the anteater post a few weeks back–sometimes a schnoz is just a schnoz. But I’m not convinced.

    PS our fattest cat, JOsephine, sounds just like that when she sleeps/snores.

  10. Lurker says:

    That duck sounds just like Clsrence Nash!

  11. Shelly says:

    I was so suprised when I saw that was a ducky-pants! eeeee….

  12. k. o'dee says:

    The end of that was, “Whazzat? Duckie fud?” And then after the scene cuts: “Hmmph. No duckie fud, no duckie! Good day, sir!”

  13. leah b. says:

    Leave it tio Teho to find a Mr.McQuckersons snoring !!!?!?
    And now that you woke me Feeds MEEEE!!

  14. leah b. says:

    Mr.McQuackersons

  15. Angelique says:

    Hehehe this reminds me of my baby duck I had…so cute! Mine didn’t snore though…sadness.

  16. chanpon says:

    Someone get the poor duckie some Breathe Right strips.

  17. Dawn says:

    Aww…shoulda let the duckie sleep in. And shoulda made sure the camera was focusing on the duck instead of on the newspaper.

  18. dog lover says:

    Soooooooooooooo cute!!!

  19. Ann says:

    This is the first video I watched when I came home from work.

    Holy crap is that cute.

    I love duckies.

    I love ducky honk-shoos.

  20. Wendy says:

    OH!

    MY!

    Sound like my hubby!

    Only cuter!

  21. nismo says:

    I played with a duck at a petting zoo once. It would always quack in protest when someone tried to pet it.

  22. Totalee Puppy says:

    Thanks, THEO, for ducky honk-shus…Should I encourage this? Yeah, we need it…

  23. LisaL says:

    I LOVE ducks so much. Fiance’s family used to have a bunch and they would have ducklings all the time. They’re just the cutest little guys.

    I remember one of their turkeys ended up hatching a couple of duck eggs and the ducklings would follow around the Momma Turkey and Momma Turkey would protect them. Was the cutest thing.
    I’m not sure if they survived though unfortunatly :(

  24. Daphne Moss says:

    This was wonderful! Please don’t be so quick to critize. Anyone who would take time to record such an event obviously loves the ducky.

  25. awwww says:

    Yep… AWWWW. Gosh this is cute!

  26. anne marie says:

    no ways! i love it. :)

  27. Martha in Washington says:

    If my husband snored like that instead of like a chain saw (and was yellow and fuzzy and soft) I wouldn’t spend so damn many nights sleeping on the couch!

  28. hon glad says:

    I’ve heard eveything now, Ducky snores.

  29. Well done!!! It’s a Waterfowl day!!! I can’t believe I heard a real life ducksnort today!!

    And…Lurker made a reference to Clarence Nash. WOW. (Look him up if you don’t know….)

  30. Petrina says:

    My cat Otis snores too. So cute!

  31. Theresa says:

    Definite double-reed sounds. Why Prokofieff made the duck an oboe in “Peter and the Wolf.”

  32. Mandy says:

    It doesn’t seem synchronized to me. Is he snoring breathing in, or out? Still adorable though… wish I was honk shuuing about now. :/

  33. NebraskaErin says:

    This totally freaked out my cat and made me turn into a pile of mush. Ducklings are now my favorite baby animal, thank you very much.

  34. Theo says:

    Mandy — half the time I’ve uploaded video clips to YouTube, somehow the re-compression process (?) has knocked my audio out of sync, and I mean WAY out of sync. So it might not have been that way in real life.

  35. Annie says:

    HEheheh Awwwww awwwwww awwww the ducky is making all the comments I was thinking…

    Another raiser of chickens and ducks and yep this is relatively clean.. you have to change out the papers a couple of times a day.
    I am always glad when they move out to the barn and the hay floor that only needs changed out once a day.

  36. kk3 says:

    Trisha : sadly little duckies are really really messy. The owner may have cleaned his cage just 5 minutes prior. I rescued a little ducky and was completely surprised. Bless his little heart!

  37. Theresa says:

    A ducks waddles into a bar and asks, “Got any grapes?”

    The bartender, confused, tells the ducks that no, his bar doesn’t serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.

    The next day, the duck returns and says, “Got any grapes?”

    Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves.

    The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: “Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!”

    “Oh, okay,” the duck says and waddles out.

    The next day the duck comes waddling in, and asks, “You got any nails?”

    “No,” the bartender answers.

    “Good!” says the duck. “Got any grapes?”

  38. LadyDarya says:

    I have to agree with the others that post about the cage not being really dirty! I used to re-hab wild birds and they are not clean freaks! Used to drive me bonkers as I tend to be a little OCD about cleaning. It doesn’t take long for it to look like it’s never been cleaned. Love the widdle baby snores….

  39. Fegli says:

    This is somehow much cuter than listening to my orange cat snoring.

  40. hrh.squeak says:

    What was the name of the little cartoon ducky that used to make sounds just like this whenever he wanted something? With ducky-Bambi-eyes? It worked for him!!

  41. LesbianNeoCon says:

    Awww, who woke him up??? Poor little duckie!

  42. browngrl says:

    oh my!
    That duck snores just exactly like my cat. It is just too much.

  43. Theresa says:
  44. Kit says:

    I agree with Mandy. It doesn’t seem to sync up for sounds in the slightest. The noise starts on an inhale, continues through an exhale and through the beginning of the next inhale. I think there is a dog outside of the box who is a little put off the ducky is getting more attention than him.

  45. Kit says:

    Ah, actually reading the next comment about YouTube screwing up tracking sounds makes sense too. Curse you youtube! This ducky seems to be doing puppy impressions then!

  46. Cody-kun says:

    Martha in Washington..it should be the chainsaw sleeping on the sofa, not you!!!! LOL

    Theresa…omg, the joke was uber cutezzzz

    and the duck is the cutest thing ever..

    And yes, animals are evil when it comes to leaving messes…Even the hamsters I have had seem to poop 50 times in a 1 minute period…still love them, though…

  47. Martha in Washington says:

    Cody-kun–I AGREE!! But I can’t get him awake enough to move there!

  48. Kimski says:

    It’s making Donald Duck noises. Which makes me think they did research their characters after all.

    I love the way s/he goes “Oh..waking up…quick food”.

  49. Kimski says:

    Just googled “Clarence Nash”, and I thought I was being so novel. *sigh*

  50. teetotaled says:

    Oh my goodness I cannot take the cute duck snoring!!!

  51. gravyboat says:

    If my husband snored as cutely as this ducklin I would’nt kick him in the butt ten times a night in an effort to shut him the hell up!

  52. Katrina says:

    gravyboat-try kissing him, it will confuse the hell out of him. And he’ll roll over, like usual, but the look on his face will be priceless, for a split second…

  53. Glix says:

    I’m not Gravyboat, but here are my two cents. Doesn’t work for me. He’ll either laugh a little in his sleep and go back to snoring or it doesn’t faze him at all. There have been several nights that I’ve tried to shove him onto his side, but I can only move his arm. 80 lbs. heavier than me + deadweight = impossible. (Of course, sometimes the attempts at shoving wake him up, and he’s confused as heck.)

  54. Tweeky says:

    Actually if a bird sounds like this it probably has an upper respritory infection and needs to see a vet.. As a bird owner i see nothing funny about this video…
