A duck is one of the last animals you would expect to find on an aeroplane flight, not least because they have wings and can fly wherever they like free of charge.

However, this bird provides a special service - it is an emotional support duck for a passenger who is worried about flying.

Birds do not have control when they relieve themselves, unlike mammals like cats and dogs.

How about emotional support dogs on planes? I’d rather have that. With bomb sniffing skills. Yup, a few of those wandering up and down the aisles would ease my mind on an airplane.

“The duck stops nervous flyers from quacking up.”

Does the airline bill extra for the service?

Cute duck...

...but shaking my head at the absolute fruitiness of our country (or whatever country is mentioned in the article; didn’t read it, of course).

That’s an awful pun - and I’m jealous I didn’t come up with it first.

Emotional support animals are,with one possible exception,complete BS.Dogs to help the blind and deaf are absolutely fine.There may be other disorders/conditions where an animal assistant may be OK.

But "emotional support"? BS!

And BTW,the one possible exception I can think of is for combat veterans.

I have an acquaintance, an animal lover, who has had a variety of "service pets". She also has several really serious emotional issues. I'd rather she was on an even keel and don't really care how it's accomplished, placebo or not. When she goes bonkers it's not pretty. ☺
