Have you ever seen a drunk duck?

I personally never did, but my husband, landlord, and one of the landlord's adult sons did back in 2004. There happened to be a family of wild ducks (male, female, and five ducklings) in between our front yards, though more on the land lord's side, due to the fact that she has a huge mulberry tree in her yard. The momma and papa ducks happened to be eating the old berries that had fallen to the ground. Apparently they got drunk from these fermented berries, flew away in a rather strange like manner almost getting hit by cars driving on the roadway, leaving their babies behind. My husband, the landlord, and the son tried to gather up all the ducklings, but unfortunately my dogs had gotten a hold of a couple that slipped through our fence, but they were able to rescue the other 3. My landlord asked if my husband could take the ducklings in as there was no sign of their parents coming back. He had to say no as our dogs would have killed those for sure. The landlord understood and took them in to raise until they got big enough to be on their own. Several months later my female dog got loose on two separate occasions and ended up getting the ducklings that had survived. Darn dog!:(
