Especially when they're all the same species (green heads!), they look like the smart battleships of Queen Isabella of Spain.Argus Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775884960931383435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32881984.post-67995682020057400472007-06-21T07:04:00.000-07:002007-06-21T07:04:00.000-07:00oh, last time i had to clear a story about ducks a...oh, last time i had to clear a story about ducks and stuff so i searched for duck terms and found this: <BR/><BR/>brace of ducks<BR/>flock of ducks<BR/>flush of ducks<BR/>paddling of ducks<BR/>raft of ducks<BR/>team of ducks <BR/><BR/>* Here, it depends on where the ducks are, so Flush, Team, (diving) dopping, (in flight) team, plump, (on water) Paddling' (brood) Flush, (pair) Brace*melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854981304301268324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32881984.post-37481516743271916852007-06-21T07:02:00.000-07:002007-06-21T07:02:00.000-07:00Hiya, Melody.

(If bv read this, she'd stare daggers and scimitars at you; be careful.)<BR/><BR/>No, the swans and ducks are odourless. Yeah, I had a goose-down pillow and, yeah, it was smelly. So far - only recently - we've seen 3 brown wild geese from afar. Just as well they don't as yet come near me... I called out insanely to them: "Are you R-goose? Or J-goose?"<BR/><BR/>Yes, those are chives flowers, I swear. The pemalu (mimosa) ones are light pink and more delicate.<BR/><BR/>The bread we throw are mainly leftovers from parties. The bread I bake, mostly we finish every crumb. Unless I pretend I can't eat the last bit -- and save it for the swans.<BR/><BR/>No, no duck hunting season here, thank heavens. (Although we've often fantasised about fat ol' Mr Mallard in our oven wafting a nice ducky aroma, heh heh.)Argus Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775884960931383435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32881984.post-63219225947024350792007-06-21T06:40:00.000-07:002007-06-21T06:40:00.000-07:00fiddle faddle are those popcorn things AMC likes, ...fiddle faddle are those popcorn things AMC likes, remember? we'd buy the ones with nuts and offer them to bv... muahahahaha. <BR/><BR/>anyways, aren't ducks and geese smelly? they scare me. <BR/><BR/>perhaps you should tell them mallards that once you bought a goose-down pillow and didn't like them cause they were stinky. or was that someone else?... <BR/><BR/>oh, were those really chive flowers? they look like the flowers of that plant, the pokok semalu or whatever you call it. the ones where the leaves close whenever you touch them.<BR/><BR/>or maybe they just didn't like me. <BR/><BR/>is there duck hunting season there? *grinning an evil grin* <BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you throw pieces of your leftover homemade breads at the ducks then eh?melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854981304301268324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32881984.post-39899278694027672772007-06-21T01:06:00.000-07:002007-06-21T01:06:00.000-07:00MrsHBT, your husband is lucky indeed!
