Ducks as pets took a new meaning on for me recently - we were staying at a van park in Busselton (WA) and decided to go for a stroll to the beach. Walking just in front of us were a young Asian couple carrying a large white duck. When they reached the beach they placed the duck on the sand and the lady then walked into the water with the duck obediantly following her. I guess it may be common in Asian countries but I've never seen a duck in salt water before.
The Asian gentleman told me he breeds ducks for 'the trade' and his girlfriend wanted to have a personal duck to bond to her from the day it hatched. Lucky duck.
Awww...... I too had a wonderful khaki campbell for a while managed to get him eating out of my hand and coming along when I called him........ Donald ........ Bloody father in law gave us a dog.......... Went shopping ........

We're with Birdlife Australia & spend around 6 months of every year photographing birds all over our country, Ducks are common in salt water almost everywhere. Still an interesting post though.
