true dat! :P
People just don't carry common sense.
:) unfornately, some people at the pond did. They actually grabbed the ducklings & petted them. I warned them that the ducklings may carry salmonella & tat the mother may attack them, but they just gave me mean looks & did it anyway.
awww, I wanna pet him!
thanks!
