if you are talking about ponds, and you happen to be a duckie
yesterday, i put up both ponds and filled them to the top with fresh water ( yes i fill ponds every day but normally only one)
later on in the afternoon, i took the ducks out for walksies and a bath
i put phoebe in the purple pond and lilli in the blue one
as in the morning they were all in the blue one and biting each other on the wing and neck.....(think sibling rivelry not actual fights)
so i figured that this was better to seperate them
besides phoebe always prefers to bath by herself.........(she doesn't like it when the others poop in the pond, but it's ok if she does it)
i picked momma up and put her in with phoebe, which momma doesn't really care for either but i figured it was better then in with lilli who was a bit pms-y yesterday
lilli got out of the blue pond, and came over to me to preen
phoebe saw lilli out of the blue pond and IMMEDIATELY jumped out of the purple pond and ran over to jump in the blue pond
however in doing so she startled herself and the other ducks......... who then ALL ran flapping down the hill
i couldn't stop laughing
hahahahaha
i finally called them all back up
i told them that it was ok and they could go back into the ponds
phoebe RAN to the blue pond, momma RAN to the purple pond
both jumped in at the same time, and continued to splash happily for hours
ducks
they do a body good, although they will make you a bit damp and soggy........
til next time
vi
who is finishing the peaches today
Yes, it does bring back fond memories. I remember when my ducks and geese would do that, startle themselves and then send the entire flock running or flying off somewhere to recover, or realize nothing happened in the first place. I miss them. :)
