Duck Parents Lay The Quack Down

If you ask me, ducks have skated by too long on their squeaky clean reputations. From Daffy to Donald to Scrooge to Howard, they’re (mostly) beloved! If anything, it’s the geese who have been unfairly maligned, which is why children sit still when you say “duck” but then run possessed at the mere mention of “goose.” The reality is ducks are insane. As with the hair of a fussy young girl or Adam Sandler’s “The Zohan,” you don’t wanna mess with ducks.

A brother and sister follow a family of ducks as their father films them. The ducks are having none of it.

A mother duck and a father duck escort their five, cute little ducklings along a fence in a park, clearly angling for that body of water on the other side. At the 15-second mark, either the mommy or daddy duck (not sure which, I’m not a skilled ornithologist) takes notice of the humans hot on their ducktails, and they are immediately wary.
