what
“What are Victor and Emilio doing?”

ex
They are excited that we found a good forever home for them.

whee
And they’re flapping around the yard and running through the sprinklers to celebrate.

where
“Where is Victor flying now?”

you
“You two kids stop that right now!”

fla
“Hey Flapper?”

what
“What is it?”

vic
“Victor says talk to the butt, ’cause the beak don’t want to hear it. Ha ha ha!”
Ha ha, good one Victor and Emilio.

walk
“I walked right into that one.”

imper
“This is my Victor impersonation.”
Hee hee, that is pretty good, Flapper. He is a little chubby.

Okay, enough joking you guys.

em
Emilio? You be a good boy in your new home, okay? I know you will love it there.

vic
And Victor? You keep an eye out for Emilio. He’s a little guy. And maybe lay off the treats a little, eh?

think
“I think I’m going to miss these guys.”
You are, O’Malley?

pool
“Well… I will miss yelling at them. NO VICTOR DO NOT TOUCH MY POOL!”
That sounds more like it.

good
“Good luck, Emilio & Victor.”

good
“Yes, good luck.”

miss
“We might miss you a little bit. But treats will help us feel better.”

Emilio & Victor went to their forever home this morning. Their new home is only about 40 minutes away, and they used the drive time to take a nap. Actually Victor got a little car sick and threw up a few pieces of lettuce. But then he ate them again so it was all good. (Gross, Victor).

pool
They settled right into their new pool and ate some treats when they arrived.

vic
Victor, do you like your new pool?
“Do I have to share these treats with Flapper?”
Nope. Not anymore.

love
“Then I LOVE it.”

emilio
“I like it, too. Hey what are those other ducks doing?”

wary
They’re a little wary of the new kids in the pool, but I bet they’ll come over soon and say hello.

listen
“LISTEN UP! I am in charge here. You are to leave the pool immediately. Cease and desist!”

whoa
“Whoa! That did not sound like hello.”
Well, I am sure he will be nice once he gets to know you two. But until then, you’d better listen to him. Consider him the new O’Malley, okay guys?
“Definitely.”

Victor and Emilio’s forever home is just perfect. They have three other rescued duck friends, some wild ducks that visit each day and some other animals, too.

these
These two rescued 30-year-old+ macaws have a huge, beautiful outdoor aviary near the ducks.

plymouths
There are even some rescued Plymouths.

swim
We wish Victor and Emilio all the very best in their new forever home. We’re grateful to their new human and really happy they lucked into such a great place to live. We’ll get a check-in note from them soon, so we can make sure they’re settling in okay. But as long as they listen to the new boss duck, we know they’ll be just fine.

Be safe and good and happy, you guys! Lots of love! XOXOX

the end
The End.
