On the Sixteenth Day of Christmas, look what came to Rikki’s,

sixteen dangerous ducklings,

Yes, some can be. Shoelace, pictured here, charges your feet squawking and quacking, wings outstretched and beating, and he sure sounds fierce. If you don’t try to outrun him, he’ll untie your shoelace and try to pull it away !!!!

Most of our ducks are clam and gentle and wonder about playing in rain puddles,

or the pools we have all over for them, eating bugs and chewing on grass and weeds. We have little ducks and big ducks. The biggest ones are muscovies and people always think they look funny, or ask what’s wrong with their heads. Nothing, that’s how they look !!! The ladies find it very attractive !!

WHY do ducks end up at Rikki’s Refuge? Well …. like all creatures, they poop. And like birds, they poop when they need to poop, they don’t much care where, just where ever they are. And this upsets people when it’s on their carpet, their deck, their car. But the ducks don’t care!!

Many are gotten as cute easter toys. But a month or two down the road when the easter toy thoroughly fouls the bathtub several times a day, and starts flying around the house, they’re just not so cute anymore, and out they go.

At Rikki’s Refuge they can poop where ever they want to, we’ll clean it up, we’ll scrub their tubs a couple/few times a day and give them fresh water, we’ll fix them up if they get sick, and we’ll feed them …. every day !!
