@Erpel @fzer0 Are you sure? There is no sound. Maybe they did ask.

@fzer0 @lacybarry the adorable little red shoes

[nzjayzee@mastodon.nz]

@stufromoz @fzer0 Can vouch. If you front lift then the crop (bit between neck and the body) will fall naturally on your wrist providing balance. A comfortable duck will use legs for low-stress sideways balance. (also this is classic duck strategy - it's becoming too expensive for them to drive their duck cars, so they're looking to alternative forms of transportation)

I had a pet duck when I was a kid. She would follow me around, but when she got tired of walking, she would lean against something to let me know. I would pick her up from behind, and lay her on her back on top of my head. I could hold her in place with a hand on her belly. She would cluck contentedly in my ear as I walked. A duck will not poop while on their back, so much care must be taken during the dismount. It is important to aim her off to one side, away from others
