Ducks... Good or Evil?

Whilst camping by the side of a lake this weekend I was frequented on several occasions by our old friend, the duck.

A debate quickly started about the humble duck as to whether they were friend or foe, good or evil. As someone lucky (or unlucky) enough to reside next to the Leeds to Liverpool canal I’ve witnessed my fair share of duck related incidents to reasonable qualify as ‘intermediate duck expert’.

From these experiences I can comfortably say the duck is borderline evil. Have you ever asked two ducks to be quiet? They will stop quacking and glare at you with a look of superiority similar to that of a grammar school headmaster. Then proceed with the quacking slightly louder than before.

Further research into the good duck/bad duck debate and I find this:

Words fail me!

Obviously the pure white ducks are high-ranking evil! Be careful out there, don’t be seduced by webbed feet and fluffy underbelly, these guys mean business.

Never trust anything that is cute and fluffy, nature designed them to trick humanity. This lady got sucked in by those ducklings.

I too have witnessed the evil of the duck! I was having a lovely picnic with Tammy and the boys when all of a sudden we were surrounded by the little blighters. I had to chase the back to where they came from (a pond) but they just kept coming back for more!!! I hate DUCKS!

Lol Marian :)

But what about the benefits of the early warning duck system for earthquakes? As discussed previously in this blog. Surely they deserve some sort of recompense for their services?

On second thoughts - this is all the excuse I need to eat more Peking Duck!

I have far more issues with the ducks larger meaner cousins the Geese!! Now they are evil. I lived in a house that kept geese when I was 20 and they used to chase me out of the garden. Ducks are a mere pick pockets to the gangster goose.

The best thing about Ducks is that they taste great.
