Puddle Ducks (also concerning regular ducks)
Created | Updated Oct 6, 2004
Puddle Ducks are quite similar to ordinary ducks, however there are differences in both behaviour and looks.
A basic duck is an aquatic bird with a beak and webbed feet. The feet being for faster swimming and the beaks being for saying "quack" or in some cases, "quark", also it can be argued that the beak is designed perfectly to pick up weeds and bread, a duck's favourite foods
Puddle Ducks are very similar in this way, as they to maintain these features, however puddle ducks use them for different things.
The average day in the life of a normal duck is as follows...
______Male_______
Wake up
Say Quack to wife
Ruffle feathers
waddle to the water (after navigating reeds)
paddle merrily and eat weeds
be followed by young ducks (probably in arrow formation)
be fed bread by various on-lookers
be chased into water by a 2 year old in yellow wellingtons
bob for weeds and show rear end to said child
return to wife and sleep
______Female_______
Wake up
Sit on egg
Sit on egg
Sit on egg
waddle to the water (after navigating reeds)
paddle merrily and eat weeds
be pelted by bread
eat said bread
return to egg
The egg is a very important part of a mother duck's life, and so it is guarded jealously in dry grass until it bursts and a duck (or sometimes snap dragon) comes out.
As you can see, ducks, while fun to watch, do not live exciting lives, the same can be said for their puddle-esque relatives.
Puddle Ducks are far different to normal ducks in their daily routines however.
Puddle Ducks usualy live in urban areas, particularly in old, cobbled pavment areas such as croydon. They roost in the basments of tall buildings at night and only come fully out into the open when it is raining, there is a simple explanation for this, a Puddle Duck's favourite activity is and always will be, jumping in puddles. They LOVE it! they waddle around the highstreets looking for puddles, and when the see one they jump into it and hop up and down uncontrollably. Puddles are also their favourite food, and so that is why they are sad when it does not rain as they are forced to eat from bins.
As I mentioned earlier, Puddle Ducks have webbed feet and beaks, but they use them in a different way.
For starters the beak, the beak on a puddle duck is an essential appendage for keeping their snazzy bonnets on, just think what would happen if it wasnt there, the bonnet would just slide off! without a bonnet around its head, a puddle duck is considered an outcast by its peers. While the males tend to wear large bonnets over their heads, the females tend to have smaller ones.
Secondly, the webbed feet. feet of any variety are essential also to a puddle duck, as it needs them to keep it's wellington boots from sliding off it's leg when it waddles.
Here is a day in the life of a Puddle Duck (Note: both male and female puddle ducks persue the same daily activities, how they reproduce is yet unknown)
_____Male/Female______
Wake up
Navigate out of basment and onto street
Check weather
If raining, proceed outside (if not, find bin, eat, return to basment and sleep)
Waddle out
Find Puddle
Splish Splash!
Splish Splash!
Splish Splash!
Playfully splash passers by
Eat said puddle
return to basment and sleep
(One final note: Puddle Ducks find it amusing to splash passers by as they pass by, however passers by are rarely amused by their playfull antics)
