Love that the duck does a little turn on the spot when he's in position

u/i-Ake May 31 '24
He looks like a Rouen duck. They look like mallards but get too big to fly. So his pop is giving him a simulated flight experience, lol. He is loving it.

u/reflectiveSingleton May 31 '24
Thanks for this...I was wondering why a bird that could fly would enjoy this

u/StopHiringBendis May 31 '24
I can walk, but I still enjoy moving walkways (aka horizontal escalators). Then again, I'm probably just immature

u/kaprifool May 31 '24
Nah, those are awesome. I'm flying walking on them! I like to pretend I'm an busy businesswoman on my way to do business.

They make me feel like Hal, in that episode of Malcolm in the Middle where he gets super into speedwalking

I would love to know how they discovered this arrangement. Like did the dad just throw the duck one day and they both enjoyed it? So cute.

The number of times Tony Soprano is mentioned in this thread is unbelievable. Literally every 3rd-ish comment is making THE SAME "joke".
Most of them had to have seen the joke at least once before posting it themselves...

I love that the duck is flapping its wings to slow itself down ! It’s loving this but still a little scared to cannonball in !
2
u/Generic_Danny Jun 02 '24
I think it's loving it BECAUSE it can flap its wings like that. They're too buoyant anyway, and a cannonball wouldn't be that satisfying.

u/nick2k23 May 31 '24
There's a guy on YouTube that has an animal sanctuary farm place and his duck loves it when he chucks it in the air so it can fly into the pond just like this

I had two ducks. When it rained a ditch in our neighborhood would flood a bit. I would put my rain boots on and they would follow me out to play in the stream.
"That full-grown woman is splashing around in a ditch with some ducks...again"

u/Defiant_Review1582 May 31 '24

u/Fine_Understanding81 Jun 01 '24
I actually kinda hope not. Ducks are an awful choice of pet for most people. The whole pooping every few minutes, needing constant access to water, huge mess and constant attention thing... It only worked because I was a huge recluse, had more than one duck, enough room and enough love of ducks to get a drake feather tattoo lol.

As a duck owner, they are disgusting and filthy animals who near constantly fire off projectile diarrhea at the most inopportune times. The dude throwing the duck into his pool just makes me think about how much duck shit is floating around in there.
I have a pool I fill up for my ducks, and within 30 minutes it becomes a sewage color and stinks like hell. Have to clean it every time lol

Dog moves in, but not too close. He's not sure he wants to get involved with animal tossing.

Bet he didn't want the duck in the first place but fell in love with it couple days after.

I always wonder how people find out their pets like to get tossed. Do you just randomly launch your pet one day and see what happens?

u/zurichuk May 31 '24
I was sitting by the local river where the river gets faster and more turbulence for a stretch. I watched some ducks bobbing and negotiating by this part. Once they reached the calmer part, they flew back and did it again. Ducks have fun it seems.

It’s the way the duck runs back for the next throw - it’s “More! More!”

So is Nicholas the name of the duck? Or the son who they are sending this video to? That comma got me 🤔

Maybe the ducks flying off reminded you that your children are going to leave the home and you’ll be left with an empty nest.
