Wild Ducks Mr Jumpy Duck

I visited my assortment of feathered chums on Wednesday and forgot to upload this video until now. I have a duck friend I have named Mr Jumpy Duck, the reason for which can be seen in the video.

He's so adorable. He sploots all the way straight down as of he is going to spring up like one of those old toys you'd press down on a desk and they shoot up straight into the air, only to manage about 2 inches off the ground, though he does occasionally go full wing flaps and flies up a little to eat from my hand. I love him, he's silly and cute, and I thought you'd enjoy him too.

The cutest little jumps 😍 I love it when they do that. I have a little jumper too. Her greed has no limits..but she gets the treats because she tried hard!

Hehe, I would never!

This is actually at the same pool where MBT resides during the spring and summer but he and his family/flock left several weeks ago and should return at the start of next year to resume his reign of terror over my trousers.
