Well, I hope he was an entertaining sort of duck for that hour. ( :

I did a behavioral study on them once. I watched them for an hour while video taping the whole thing. I wrote down every single behavior a certain individual I was watching did during that hour. Afterwards I had to write a paper on it and present my findings to the animal behavior class I was in.
