I believe we have an avian variation of Rule 22 with the duck on the right.

3 Way Cool Groovy Chick 08.27.08 at 9:34 pm

Ooops, I mean left. The guy or gal with the curled paw/foot action. That one.

7 Renae 08.27.08 at 9:39 pm

Why yes, yes I am looking at your adorable fuzzy yellow ‘tocks. It’s irresistable!

8 chanpon 08.27.08 at 9:39 pm

Yellow fuzzy ducky ‘tocks!

Awww…I think the photo with the dueling duck bills is pretty cute. The head tucks are brain-’sploding.

9 i_wuvs_puttins 08.27.08 at 9:48 pm

Look at the nubbular leggins on the right one!

10 Karen in Toronto 08.27.08 at 9:56 pm

Peep elbows looking a lot like chewed Bazooka on the subway floor. I appreciate the hidinks in the third photo.

11 Beth 08.27.08 at 9:57 pm

Anyone notice that the duckies are older in the last pic. Their pink beaks are longer and they are getting real feathers. So sweet.

12 Karen in Toronto 08.27.08 at 9:59 pm

Good catch, Beth! I didn’t look that closely.

13 Barbara 08.27.08 at 10:08 pm

It’s just not even possible that something is THAT CUTE. omg *loves*

14 Daphne Moss 08.27.08 at 10:39 pm

Little ducklings…in metal? Would be nice if they had nice floofy nest…and mom. Sense more there’s to this…

[Sung in a Frank Sinatra/Donald Duck kind of way]

Right up to heaven, Im in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When were out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

17 Lurker 08.28.08 at 12:12 am

Interlocking duckies!

18 Leslie 08.28.08 at 12:30 am

Their bills, legs, and feet are *totally* made of Silly Putty. I always wondered why that stuff came in an egg.

19 darkshines 08.28.08 at 1:08 am

I had a terrible day, and that bottom pic made me smile :)

20 Jie 08.28.08 at 1:22 am

i was just looking of a duck photo for my babies homework and I found this. Really Cute

21 Mealsy 08.28.08 at 1:52 am

Oh the memories of when I had a baby duck, he followed me everywhere, and he had a warm spot under his beak..this is too adorable…xoxo

22 oni 08.28.08 at 2:05 am

it’s not metal, it’s a plastic tub. prolly very handy for fostering babies- light, strong, cleans easily.

23 Julie L 08.28.08 at 2:44 am

I love how shiny and new their beeeeeks and feeeeets are. And how they’ve changed places in the last pic… very very sweet. :)

24 thepetmuseum 08.28.08 at 3:22 am

No, I’m looking at your yummy lil feetlets. Oh mah heart!!

25 Samantha 08.28.08 at 4:18 am

So fuzzeh!
Must snorgle!

26 Raemie L. 08.28.08 at 4:55 am

Aww… snugguleh flufflings.

27 Lizzy 08.28.08 at 5:06 am

@Gizmo – surely there is something wrong with your keyboard, for you most definitely meant to type “beak to beak.” *tilts head in a “Am I right?” gesture*

But yes, I AM staring at your wee fuzzy/feathery ‘tocks! And your stubbular winglets. And your adorable feets. *gently kisses the wee little foreheads*

28 Robert W. 08.28.08 at 5:22 am

Hi everyone- I’m the very flattered owner of these two ducklings, who are ducklings no more. They grow up so fast! Sometimes when I see a weed growing quickly I think, “It’s growing like a duck!”

Their names are Amos and Andie. I gave them that name before I knew their gender, they both turned out to be female. I got them to keep my other duck, Quacker, company after his buddy Jack died. I got them at a bird farm. They and Quacker are the three musketeers these days.

About the last pictue, I got really lucky. They only did that once when I kept them in the house, and I was so lucky to have the camera within arm’s reach.

You can see more pictures of Amos and Andie at:

Enjoy everyone, and thanks for posting the pictures.

29 Serena 08.28.08 at 5:42 am

O, mah gahd.

Too beautiful.

30 Serena 08.28.08 at 5:43 am

P.S. @Beth — I noticed too! But I’m glad to hear from lucky-owner-Robert-W. that they are the same ducklings, just at another time :)

31 Noelegy 08.28.08 at 6:53 am

That is what soft looks like.

32 Hon Glad 08.28.08 at 7:48 am

Ducky Lucky is lucky.

33 gooeyctr 08.28.08 at 9:34 am

‘Tock lookers! Cheeky monkeys!

34 snorglepup 08.28.08 at 11:19 am

Robert W from “see, ducks make good pets.”
Enjoyed all your pictures.
What a sweet guy!

35 Katrina 08.28.08 at 11:43 am

Robert W.-Thanks so much for the ‘guck pix’! I really like ducks, and have always wanted some- not as much as I want a giraffe, but I do realize they might be a tad easier to get and maintain.

Keep us up on their antics- they are really adorable, as a the hoomans in the pix, too!

36 mberkie0 08.28.08 at 12:11 pm

Hey, Ed., are we savin’ this to recycle in ‘Tocktober? Ahhope, ahhope, huh?

37 Gillie 08.28.08 at 12:29 pm

Totally adorable.

Cutest Duckies on the Internets.

Katrina, I want a giraffe, too.

38 luckybat 08.28.08 at 12:51 pm

OMG, those pink baybeh duckeh beaks. Oh, and you HAVE to check out this picture of the baybehs:

Thanks Robert W.!

39 Gail (the first one) 08.28.08 at 1:19 pm

OMG, I didn’t need anybody telling me how *easy* it would be to get a babeh duckie!!! Wonder how the cats would take it???

40 Kris 08.28.08 at 1:24 pm

How precious! They are so beautiful! That last picture is just perfect.

41 Babs 08.28.08 at 1:26 pm

Gail, I suspect the cats would LOVE it. Tho’ maybe not the way you would prefer.

42 Cordelia 08.28.08 at 2:03 pm

Oh god, shiny little webbed feet all tucked up. *dies*

43 Poohbear 08.28.08 at 2:23 pm

Sometimes hoomans are just as sweet as their anipals. Case in point.

44 Katrina 08.28.08 at 2:31 pm

Gillie- do you have any leads on one at the moment? Did you see the New Yorker carton from a few weeks ago-the fractal giraffe? Tooo cute! Giraffes are God’s way of saying “hey, have a sense of humor about things”. An animal that is at the same time majestic and down right silly-looking.

luckybat — God is a duck? Wow, you may be right—I’d never thought of it quite that way before, but it would explain a whole lot of things- Theo- what do you think? The God/Duck thesis? Want to weigh in, anyone? God isn’t a giraffe, I’m pretty sure…

45 Theo 08.28.08 at 2:56 pm

I am probably not the first person you should ask about the nature of God.

46 Theo 08.28.08 at 2:58 pm

…as for the nature of *ducks*, well, they fly AND they swim! Not bad, eh?

47 Gail (the first one) 08.28.08 at 3:50 pm

@Babs: LOL!!! The non-cat resident here (who’s half-Lab) might appreciate it that very same way!!

48 Katrina 08.28.08 at 6:59 pm

It is OK Theo, we all have our strengths and yours is making people insanely happy, Carry on…
Ducks are awesome, we have a commonality that can’t be rendered asunder by anyone!

I’m having a wonderful time imagining Frank Sinatra singing like Donald Duck.
“Lucky be a ducky tonight…..”

49 Theo 08.28.08 at 8:03 pm

Oh, sometimes I just make people insane. All depends.

50 annette 08.28.08 at 8:11 pm

oh my GORSH! the top duck in the last photo is TOTALLY smiling! :D

51 Noelegy 08.28.08 at 8:47 pm

The “interlocking duckies” made me think: Interlochenducken!

52 Katrina 08.28.08 at 10:24 pm

Interlochenducken-beautiful!

53 darkshines 08.29.08 at 8:08 pm

(Theo is the greek word for god……)

54 Totalee Puppy 08.29.08 at 11:24 pm

DARKSHINES…How amazing!
DUCKIES… “Tea for Two…
Bill and Coo for Two…
Honk-Shu for Two”…

55 luckybat 08.30.08 at 1:14 pm

God is a duck? Baroo?? Did I say that? Y’all must think I’m quackers!
