I care more about this duck than I do about my brother and sister.
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
I wonder who takes care of those sandals, now that the ducks forced them out....
OldPasta
Kitastrophe
I always wonder about how people know what their rescued pets' former owners did to them. Did the duck tell OP she was dumped?

You sir deserve some kind of reward for being awesome and setting an exellent example for others to follow.

This was very nice of you and you are a good person. But how did you know he was a pet that was abandoned and not just a normal hurt duck?
lajih
That duck had imprinted on a person before. Also, wild-type ducks tend to not be white with orange bills; kind of makes them a target.

This is why you don't get your kids bunnies/ducklings as easter presents! Not every one will be saved by this awesome guy after being dumped
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
Looks young. Yup...Easter duckling no longer wanted. THIS is why you dont get them "for fun" on easter :(
keeblur
I hope those maggots were food for her, not feeding on her.
darthlycius
Those were meal worms not maggots. Ducks go apeshit for them.

I can only imagine what is causing that duck to make that face.

3D print that duck a new beak.
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
No, we can go further. 3D print a new duck.
lonelystrandedalien
nah its own beak seems to heal pretty well. 3d print that duck a duckseat for car rides!
DuckMom
Do duck bills heal on their own? Ive seen photos of seabirds who get prosthetic beak replacements and kind of assumed beaks couldn't heal.

I need to know this, too! That's the saddest part of the whole thing, and I need to know it's going to be okay!

and it smells like baby diapers full of digested indian food
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
Animals: they poop a lot. (BTW have you ever seen a rabbit shit? Holy mother of God...)
scabab
they eat it
AznInvazn
My sister's hamster used to store its poop in its cheek pouches. Was horrified one day to see it spitting out a hill of shit into its bowl.
scabab
haha. well. that is because food actually needs two goes through the system to be properly digested.
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
but in those few days, they managed to produce mounds of poop beneath their cages (elevated on stand b/c of poop) taller than four feet. 2
scabab
i think its evidence against rabbit intelligence that they dont use a pile of their own shit for a prison break.
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
Lol
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
Well, I've seen many species eat their own poop. But rabbits poop mountains. My aunt owned a rabbit farm and cleaned up thrice a week 1

Meh .. They don't taste very good..

By whom, God? Society? There're countries where they eat dogs, cats, people. Up to everyone what they want to do with a particular animal.

Does anyone know if the healed bits will go yellow like the rest, or will they stay pink?

Thank you! :D
FuckinTreebeard
My brain wants to think that it's a worthy battle wound after fighting off 3 greyhounds from hell.
Stojas
Yes I have broken my beak a couple of times and it's indeed quite painful.
thatpictureisaspy
Not a native speaker, but do ducks not have bills or have I misunderstood the difference between beak and bill?
notavampire
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W09_WlJ0J4Q I hope this answers your question.
ChristopherKostyshyn
To be honest, we use bill and beak pretty interchangeably, even though they are technically different
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
It's one way I think. I've never heard someone describe a parrot's mouth as a bill. But a duck's bill can be called a beak.
Nakagator
On ducks it's called a bill. On chickens it's a beak. English is fucked up, if you get them confused, people will still understand.
metaphysicalmusings
I don't think this is a fault of the language. They look different and are specialized for different things, so different word.
xDestro
Do beaks have nerves in them?
Dawnstempest
Yes and more importantly they have a blood vein in them too (at least all song birds do). If the beak is broken off too close, they will 1)
Dawnstempest
bleed to death. Fortunately this ducks beak was broken forwards of this line. Still amazing it didn't get infected.
deathdyingdecay
yeah I assume so. I'm sure it is very painful
paulec252
Yeah, I assumed hair had nerves in them too. Boy was I wrong.
deathdyingdecay
From what I read just now via google search, the ends do not but closer to the skull there are nerves and feelings. I'm not duck expert
Smugfish27
A duxpert.
paulec252
Sounds like a tooth... sorta.
kieweee
Will a beak heal? Or do you glue it back together or something? I really have no idea.
sarahrahrahrah
I googled your question. "A cracked beak won't grow together, but will grow out over time" http://beautyofbirds.com/brokenbeaks.html
Flucksy
There a section on homeopathic medicine. I was entertained until that.
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
From the last two pictures it looks like something's healing. The vet may have but something there to replace it though.
MagnusDeacon
I wonder if a pet duck would do well in the trucking business with me? A Truck Duck, maybe?
TheMasterOfTheMechanicalStuff
i'd probebly just go with a rubber duck...
arsone
You could call it a Truck! Wait...shit.
FunnyLikeKafka
I'd do it! #DucksForTrucks
themightycthulhu
while it sounds fun, it probably wouldn't be the best idea. they eat a lot, can be fairly noisy, and poop a lot. which then stinks horribly.
Malgonien
they make bird diapers for people who have indoor chickens, and they're noisier when there are more of them, one alone isn't too bad.
MagnusDeacon
True, but I could fling duck poo at the windshields of the asshole peoples.
jellybeansRAWOFCOURSE
that beak was the saddest thing ive seen all day
IDidNotKillAnyone
It hurted me more than my period cramps
StonesOnTheHill
I know. I can't imagine someone breaking your nose, jaw and hand at the same time.

brianclementsvatua
Who a.) gets a duck for a pet, and then, perhaps more importantly, b.) PROCEEDS TO ABANDON SAID DUCK?
NoDirectionHome
I didn't know you even could own a duck for a pet!
SHOTbyTaco
Thousands of children get them at easter, then promptly abandon them when the "fun" wears off, usually a month or so later. It's so sad...
deadcow
I used to work at a feed store that sold chicks/ducks. We had to start a policy of not selling singles because people wanted one for easter
deadcow
chicks/ducklings have a very high mortality rate as babies when they are alone.
jimicos
I questioned that as well. I guess we don't know if this duck had been orphaned and attacked.
brianclementsvatua
It's a Magpie duck. They're domesticated, which tells me that more than likely this duck was owned at some point before being dumped.
julgran
I love ducks!! More than humans many times. A duck would never abandon it's human.
SamMan
Buy a cute baby for Easter & then it stops being cute and starts need food and pooping all over the place. People suck.
CatsIsTheAnswer
I now what you mean, but DUCKS DON'T STOP BEING CUTE
CatsIsTheAnswer
Wow, I really fucked up :D
PennnnnyLane
Plenty of people. I've heard of people just dropping off dogs/kittens in the middle of the country bc they don't want pets anymore.
whatshouldibewhenigrowup
My neighbor had a duck. He and my pup were besties. Duck got out of their yard and disappeared forever. My pup 1/2

summerbreezes
Found two adorable ducks abandoned one time by the lake at my college. They didn't even know how to drink the water until I showed them. 1/
summerbreezes
My biggest regret is not taking them in as my pets because they both disappeared, probably eaten by predators, in the next few days.
Benegesseritwitch75
We had 4 ducks dumped at our local park. They can't fly and would die if we didn't have a bird rescue.
buckykatt
Happens ALL THE TIME with rabbits. Especially around Easter time. Ppl get them and then find out they "have to take care of them". WTH?
Robopengy
I adopted a pair of Easter rabbits some years ago, I don't get how people can abandon animals!

stoffo
I heard that there're some school project where kids take care of eggs and have ducklings hatch and ofc after that they're dumped.
tamalero
millions of irresponsible owners who bought the pets when their kids were making a tantrum. Like millions who got a fish due of Nemo.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
It's the holidays. Parents think they're creating a cute memory for their kids then realize they can't take care of the pet and dump it. =/

Teowlyn
i was at my friends house when her duck was attacked, we came outside to find her feathers on the ground with blood, its very possible (1/2)
CaptainCatheter
Yes, having lived my whole life with fowl, you are never really sure wether they were killed, left to lay eggs, or stolen, etc.
Teowlyn
this duck was attacked but managed to survive, we never found the ducks body and assumed it was eaten.
Neintendo
This need to be recognized!!!
goawaybird
Why not just eat the duck if you don't wanna take care of it?
herpaderps
it's sad that often people think animals are no longer cute when they grow then abandon them. like what do you expect, ANIMALS GROW UP TOO.
herpaderps
that being said that duck is still as cute as a baby duckling so this makes me really mad.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
My Aunt does this. Gets animals for her kids, then they grow up, "Oh can you guys take it now?" We have several of her pets (1/2)
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
(2/2) And she just keeps getting more. One of those parents who spends no time with her kids so she spoils them without thought.
herpaderps
that's awful. bless your hearts for taking in those animals she tosses out though.
GendouLovesDucklings
I don't know if you're joking or not, but this is a HUGE issue around the Easter holiday. Children are given a cute duckling, 1/2
GendouLovesDucklings
the duckling grows up and becomes less cute, and the parents drive it out to a pond to 'release it.' Of course the duck is imprinted 2/3
killdeercutie
You can get rabbits for free from many shelters right after Easter because so many people abandon them. It's so sad.
agentpingox69oo
LESS CUTE?? Who are these people?! One of my goals in life is to have a duck. Ugh I wish I could rescue every abandoned animal ever. =(
Flucksy
But ducks are cuter and they quack. You can't beat the quack
GendouLovesDucklings
on humans now and doesn't understand why it's been abandoned. It may also be a domestic breed which can't fly or compete for food with 3/4
GendouLovesDucklings
wild ducks. Many of these ducks end up being mauled by dogs because they try and follow humans around because of their imprinting. 4/5
GendouLovesDucklings
It's a huge issue that many of us try and educate people about. Rescues are often swamped with abandoned ducks in the springtime. 5/5 END
