In case you were wondering...

Thank Goodness! It's about time someone came out with a proper primer on how to pick up a duck. But as impressive as it is - I am more impressed with the ducks shoes. They're GORGEOUS!  

🥺

It's strange but when I woke up today I had this overriding urge to learn how to pick up a duck. Wow, I can't believe John K answered every question I had. Thanks John, now I can go through my day with my newfound knowledge and hopefully share it with others.

Now if he could just tell me how to pick up an attractive young woman, I would be hugely grateful. Approaching from in front or behind, smiling, giving my name, placing a hand gently under the breast, none of it seems to work.

I've never picked up a duck nor do I plan to pick one up in the future. But it's interesting to know the correct way none the less. Thanks.

The last time that I tried to pick up a duck it gave my bare right foot a sharp peck. Have not tried again since.

Now...if we can just find a way to get down off a duck. 

does holding a Donald Duck magazine also count ?

That no duck you're riding JK....that's an ostrich!

Well, I am certainly glad the picking up part has been explained, John. One mystery solved here !

Well I'll be a plucked duck....I never knew of this approach.  I grew up on a farm and had a whole variety of ducks, chickens, pigeons for yard pets of sorts.  I would just have to sit out on the back porch and the ducks and chickens would wander over and hang around looking for a handout (of course, which I always had).  Some of the ducks would jump up into my lap....then stare at me as if to say "well...make with the food already!"  It was very cool and remains a fond memory.  Now the Toulouse geese....that was a different story; they were nasty buggers; especially the ganders.  Lol.  It was kind of interesting regarding the chickens...the Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds behaved as I described but the white Leghorns were flighty as hell and quite standoffish and nuts in comparison.  Coincidentally the Leghorns were our meat birds....the others were laying hens  that enjoyed long lives.  Maybe the Leghorns knew what was up in the big picture.....

thank you JK,for this fine Ducknology primmer ...... will there be a selection of recipes to follow?
