    Scared for the duckies!!!

    I drove up to our local Wendy's to get lunch today and there were 3 ducks waddling across the parking lot towards the drive-up window.

    There is a park nearby with a pond. I never go to this particular Wendy's but it was in my travels today. I have a feeling someone there must feed the ducks. I am sure they are most likely used to the cars but still I was worried for them. I was trying to think what I could do about the situation.

    I had to get back to work so I couldn't do anything immediately.

    Someone needs to advise them, Wendy's drive through doesn't offer duck food!

    It's very cute to picture!

    But I also so understand your concern for them. I am guessing they've been there for some time and folks in the area know about them? You could ask in the Wendy's and get a bit of back ground.

    If there is a park and a pond nearby, then that's probably where they live. They get so used to people feeding them, that they probably gravitate toward Wendy's when they don't get a lot of visitors and free handouts at the pond.

    Smart duckies, tho probably not the best diet for them. I wonder if ducks can suffer from high cholesterol???

    I did say something to the brain dead kid that handed me my order and he acted like he didn't even hear me. I am sure they probably get lots of comments about it.

    People use to stop for the ducks to cross the street in our town. They would walk all over downtown & were admired & loved by everyone.

    Now outside of town their is a wild black goat that chews its' cud while relaxing on rock out crops on the lime stone cliffs along the road side.

    Would love to see a photo of the black goat!

    We haven't seen the goat this winter. Hopefully when the weather warms up it will be back out on the rocks if the coyotes didn't get a hold if it.
