That’s what ya get for naming yer ducks Ben and Jerry.

Anyone know how many of these ducks there are in their native New Zealand? The author seems to want us to believe that the species will go extinct if the one female in the UK doesn’t breed, but I doubt that this is the case. Sounds to me more like a ploy to get us to accept that homosexuality is normal and should be accepted as a part of nature. That is usually at the heart of stories like this.

Did anyone consider that Cherry might be ugly? I don’t mean a little, I mean “throw mama from the train, Helen Thomas ugly”.

At that point, the other duck would rather be with his bud out fishing instead of shacking up with some hag.

I have heard people say that God does not have a sense of humor. All these stories like this of us trying and failing to manipulate nature just convinces me that they are wrong.

Other examples are the otter eaten by an Orca at Prince William Sound (Valdez) and some rare bird eaten by a Pike(?) in the UK a few years ago as the bunny huggers watched.

Blue Ducks Likely to Die Out in UK After Male Birds Get Together

Houston, we've found the problem.

Super!

Sure can tell those ducks aren’t mallards. Mallard drakes tend to pair off together as buddies, and then go after the girls...one watching on the sidelines until it’s his turn with the hen.

"They stay together all the time, parading up and down their enclosure and whistling to each other as a male might do with a female he wants to mate with," he said.

Doesn't sound like they've been observed mating.

Blue ducks originate from New Zealand but there were thought to be just three birds in the UK. Keepers initially introduced Ben to Cherry, but neither seemed keen. They then brought Jerry down from a sanctuary in London.

Since these don't appear to be the last birds in the world, just in England, which don't they procure another female? Jerry wasn't "local" either.

[texmexis best]

Not to worry, blue ducks are from New Zealand and I suspect they are fairly common. So the keepers can have their faux gay display without regard to the consequences.

Ben and Jerry ... ROFL!

How fitting that they would be named after to two queers that opened the ice-cream store!

My surviving male khaki campbell duck is living at the neighbor’s creek with a blue heron. The heron stands upright and keeps look out while duckie swims, sleeps and eats.

After what my poor duckie witnessed last Halloween though, he’s lucky to be alive. The rest of the flock was mutilated by some sicko who cut their bills off. Duckie flew our fence and ended up at our neighbor’s creek. The rest of the flock is dead. The survivor won’t come to us nor will he come home.
