Fowl Play

With the arrival of spring, ducks return to ponds — and so too does a particularly insidious breed of larcenous fiend: the duckling thief. Driven by their uncontrollable desire for cuteness, these sinister shoplifters will stop at nothing to get their “five-feather discount.” So if you see any suspicious people with peeping noises coming from their pockets, notify police immediately!

    Looks like this duck is wasting away in Margaritaville…

    I’m mad and sad because I haven’t seen a single baby duck this entire spring! I normally see several flocks by this time but this year, nuttin’. 😥

    That is so adorable I cried.
    OH, to be a duckling again.

    five-feather discount?? Snerk, anyone else remember shoplifting being called the “five-finger discount”?

    And this is just too cute. Checked my pockets and my purse but no duckling in there, I feel robbed.

      That was the part that amused me the most as well. Another good NTMTOM original!

    The wing nublets are killing me. Plus all the napping babies are making me sleepy!
