Heartwarming Duck Story
By admin
Something about a mother duck and her babies invokes a sense of protection of the natural in an unnatural environment. Here is a perfect example.

[...] It is funny because no matter what the scenario, humans will drop whatever they’re doing to allow the adorable ducklings to cross. This cultural reference seems to expose a soft spot in the human psyche for ducklings. A duck crossing scene insertion into an inopportune time makes us smile and chuckle. Scene’s such as this are reminiscent of the common Springtime local news story of a person going out of their way to assist a mother and her ducklings. [...]
Hi Austin-
Found your site from a link on “Live Ducks”.
I notice you are in Boulder,CO. So am I! I dont have a duck, I live in a townhouse, so I have to visit web sites.
It sounds like you have a farm. May I have the address? It would be great to visit.
I get to watch a few mallards in a small wetland behind the Safeway at Iris.

Hey Paul,
Thanks for the note. I’m glad you found us through LiveDucks. We’re thrilled to have had them notice us.
I do live in Boulder and somewhat out in the country. However, it is not a farm. My family has a farm in northern Minnesota, outside of Thief River Falls, MN, where we raise tons of ducks. We ship about 11k / year out of there.
I’ll shoot you an email with my contact info…
Austin
