Ducks are great animals.

I used to feed the wild ducks. They are well-behaved.

Ducks poop. Anywhere all the time.

Looks like it has a diaper. It’s still going to smell.

This support animal nonsense on airplanes needs to stop.
Take a valium, like a normal person.

The whole world is their free buffet and toilet.

In the wild ducks clean themselves regularly but in this case all a diaper will do is smush the poop into their feathers.

I heard a pilot talking about these support animals. He said he’s had a small horse on a flight ,a turkey and a support dog for a support dog.

My daughter wouldn’t DREAM of going to the dentist without her ducky for emotional support.

But then, she’s only eight years old....
