Chewy’s Cousins
Hey Chewy!
“Hold on, Stuffy. Mom is callin’ me.”
“Yeah, Mom?”
I got a photo from your young cousins. Do you want to see it?
“I have cousins?”
Yes. Well, kind of. Remember when Adrian came over to do research? He was the kid who wanted ducks of his own, but wanted to make sure he knew how to raise them right first. So he came over to meet Flapper and family and take notes. He didn’t have to take many notes though, because he already researched a lot on his own.
“I remember him. He’s a good egg.”
Well he and his family got all their preparations done. Like building a predator-proof pen and getting the right food and such. And then he got two ducklings of his own a few weeks ago. Now they’re all grown up. Take a look at them.
They look a lot like you, don’t you think Chewy?
“Wow. It’s like looking in a mirror. A really beautiful mirror.”
“They have great names, too. Very superhero ducks.”
I think so too, Chewy.
Congratulations to Adrian and family on their super-cool superhero ducks. Chewy is glad they turned out to be magpie ducks like him. With stripey feet and all!
Quacks,
Tiff, Chewy & the flock

I haven’t seen many Magpies that are as handsome as Fling and Thor. Well, beside Chewy ofcourse;-) I bet they are sweet too! How nice that you have cousins finally Chewster!
Maybe one day you can visit them too!
Uh oh. Looks like Stuffy’s immediate future will include another spin through the washing machine.
Congratulations, Adrian, on raising two very attractive superducks. You should be commended for doing the research and making thorough preparations for your ducks. Not enough people do, as evidenced by the number of domestic ducks dumped into public parks after the humans punked out and decided that they didn’t want the responsibilities of duck care. I wish everyone were as caring and thoughtful about animals as you.
Fling and Thor are wonderful! I agree with Dawn — you’re doing a wonderful job.
Hah, Dawn beat me to it… Stuffy is looking a little gray.
Wow!! Fame, fortune and stardom for our little quackers. Adrian will be agog when I show him. Fling and Thor will be nonplussed. They will only quack a little louder.
Thanks, Tiff, for a great shout out. It made my day!
