This is a duck, but it's not interested in grain or anything.
So when I was seven, the way we Googled was called the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Yes, so we were looking up what on earth is this and discovered that Meganzer ducks, who are really cute, when they grow up, they have this real cool haircut and they're just darling little things, but they eat things like little minnows and worms and insects.
And so my dad put something together for these ducks with a kid's wading pool and we would go down to the creek and we would catch minnows.
And then we would go out at night and he taught me to take a flashlight and put red cellophane on it.
Because when the night crawlers came out of the ground at night and you shone a light on them, the little worms would disappear back into the earth.
So then you could pick up the earthworms to feed the ducks.
that they would eat a worm and the worm would like move them because they were little and the worm was big.
But I learned how to catch night crawlers, how to feed these ducklings and took care of them until they were big enough to fly, which was really special.
