Happy Couple, originally uploaded by tifotter.

Today I went to see Ms Bruiser, a beautiful pekin girl who we placed in a new forever home in early June. She and four other rescued ducks now live together in a great forever home. Ms Bruiser used to be very imprinted on humans and in fact had never seen another duck until she stayed at Flapper’s house for a few weeks in May. Now five weeks later… she knows she is a duck. It’s pretty cool to see her so well-adjusted and loving being a duck. She has a pekin boyfriend now who loves her dearly, and they are all doing great in their new forever home.

It was a little sad to see her less friendly with me, but it’s definitely for the best. She came over to see me very briefly, bit me, and let me pick her up and kiss her head. Then she went right back to her big boyfriend. It’s the perfect “Independence Day” because Ms Bruiser has truly learned to be a duck and not to depend on humans so much anymore. Happy Independence Day, Ms. Bruiser.
