"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Indian Runner Duck
If I were going to keep ducks, these would be the ducks I would keep. From what I've read about them, they're quieter than other ducks and they lay lots and lots of eggs. Their legs are situated far back on their bodies, so they walk (run, actually) almost completely upright.
Cracks. Me. Up.
Doodled from Koi Craze at Welch Farms. His neck is a little short and his head is a little bit too big, but the posture looks about right.
