Dive Like A Duck

Don't you wish you could sit on water like a duck does?
Who needs a boat if you have a substance all over your clothing that keeps you afloat.
The duck above was showing off his tail feathers. I wonder if in duck speak that is “giving me the duck finger”. Probably not... they don't have fingers.
That flotation device they are born with must cause frustration when trying to catch fish under them.
I have seen ducks dive under the water but it must be hard work when your body wants to pop right back up.
If I was a duck, like this one, I would live in a park and let the park walkers feed me all day.
I wonder if they get water up their nose and if it hurts them when it happens like it hurts us?
Do they get cold feet in the winter?
What time does a duck wake up?...At the quack of dawn!
Enough about ducks. Enjoy your day...

It made me laugh to see a whole bunch of them doing this, there must have been something tasty under them.

They are so interesting to watch. They float so easily...I wish I could do that.

@PainsOnSlate What a cute name but it is some sort of a tongue twister.

We had then too but we needed good fences to keep the foxes out. I had a pet duck named Wibble Wobble.

@salonga Wibble wobble is about the way they look with they walk, a duck walk, the leaning from one side to the other. That's how she got her name.

So glad to see you again. I miss you when you take time off. I could look it up but it was just a silly post, no need to know...

I enjoy watching ducks in and around the water. I don't know what time ducks wake up but must be really early and possibly they get cold feet in the winter. You will have to ask a duck some time and maybe they will tell you, quack, quack.

I am an adult and talk to my dogs a lot so it is not strange you would have conversations with your duck.

And what about wings to fly around - no hassle driving or looking for transport. (lol)

I certainly wish I could hold my breath like that Paints.
I love the water but have lost lung power.

What do you call a crate full of ducks? A box of quackers!

I have often wonder if they get cold feet. When I see them in the water in winter it always makes me wonder that.

Glad I am not a duck-but, if we were ducks, would we know the difference?

They are very interesting birds. I did look them up on line to see how they function. It was an interesting read. I've been missing you. I hope all is well with you. Happy Easter.

I love water but I don't know to swim. Wish to learn swimming soon. First of all I have to find time for myself to go for swimming classes. I am sure I will learn swimming soon.

I can swim but there is no swimming in our stream, its too rocky. I hope you learn, its great fun and good exercise.
