A Trucking Duck

Yes, this goes way beyond handholding woodpeckers or chickadees.

Trucking Duck.

That's hilarious... and wonderful.

I agree with him at the end. Everyone should have a bird pet, it certainly reduces stress.

Or, in your case, increases it when something happens to your "pet" bird!

canonloader · 29th of January 2009 (Thu)

Yeah, but Red isn't really a pet. He would be in no danger if he lived with me.

marjnap · 29th of January 2009 (Thu)

LOL, I think any pet that you form a bond with is a great thing.

Now that is a safe bet!!!

canonloader · 29th of January 2009 (Thu)

Well, OK, he might be in danger of getting overweight.

That's amazing...

Definately a "feel good" story if ever I've seen one.

I can see it now: canonloader on the prowl for a source of low-fat peanuts!

My question is.. is it potty trained? Birds are not the cleanest of animals when it comes to that.

Kevin · 29th of January 2009 (Thu)

Very cool Mitch, and I think he is right, everybody needs a Frankie.

canonloader · 30th of January 2009 (Fri)

Andrew, I didn't think birds could be potty trained, and I did see a piece on a PBS special about chickens once where a woman had a pet chicken that wore a diaper. Growing up on a farm, I never believed they could be potty trained, until I saw this on the news yesterday.
