There’s NUTTIN like a bebeh boid (written as I sit here with my own boid on my shoulder, stealin’ my snax and plotting against my evil keyboard keys…..)
Muscovies! These are Muscovy ducks. We had muscovies hanging out on our campus when I was at community college many moons ago. They were an odd breed: preferred hanging out on the big tree branches that hung low, right over the water, rather than on the shore when they weren’t swimming, kept aloof from the other ducks & didn’t quack– the drakes wheezed & the hens sort of squeeked from time to time. Really loyal to those they knew were duck feeders, though– they’d come right up to you. Big breed, too.
YES, Muscovies! Where my dad lives in Florida, they are everywhere, including gas stations. Have tons of ducklings. We were eating at an outdoor cafe one day, and the Muscovy duckling were swarming around us. Cute!
Aw, I love duckies. all kinds. My sister used to live on an acreage in the country and had ducks. They wre so sweet, they would just waddle around after her as she did yard work, quacking contentedly, (I’m sure the fact that she stirred up bugs for them had nothing to do with their devotion to her!)

Swarmed by bebbeh ducklings. Sigh.
Getting swarmed by ducklings would’ve kilt me ded.
Quackless ducklets at gas stations?!!! What a woild!
In the bottom picture, is that an egg toof I spot?
No. Actually, thats just the little hook ducks have on the end of their beaks. Egg teeth are located on the tip of the bill, but on top.
The proshness is overwhelming.

I agree with everything you say here including the part in parenthesis, amyliz.
You mean they didn’t even ask for one bill?
Eh, sorry…
Is it just me, or does the one duckling look like an entirely different species from all the others?
These sort of pictures just splort me.
